TIP OF THE WEEK

Carrying Pepper Spray on College Campuses — Every student is urged to walk with others wherever they go, both on and off campus. Unfortunately that is not always possible, and there will be times when you are going to and from a class, job or social event alone. Regardless if you are by yourself or in a large group, carrying pepper spray is a good way to protect yourself and others. Before you begin carrying pepper spray, be sure to find out if it is legal on your campus. Most colleges encourage students to take steps to ensure their personal security, but you do want to be certain you are not breaking any school laws. Check with one of your instructors or a security officer to find out if a self-defense spray is allowed.
