Is safety and security are prime concerns at your Campus? Click here to order Campus Safety Signage
It should come as no surprise that University administrators find their campus safety reputation drives enrollment. No safety plan is complete without indoor awareness signage.
The great thing about this media is that it’s an effective and affordable way to get in front of your target audience for an average of two and a half minutes. The Unfair Advantage we offer is “No other media can be placed where it is truly unavoidable”. In most cases, people will see your message over and over throughout their visit to your campus. Because we are in washrooms, you can target by gender. Internal awareness campaigns can be extremely effective in enhancing important or required messages when strategically place in high traffic areas where Students, employees, clients, vendors, contractors and visitors frequent or gather on your campus. This is a Proactive approach to campus awareness for rape, auto theft, and other safety issues that hamper campus reputation as unsafe and affect student enrollment.

We welcome our new grantees and congratulations to our continuing grantees.”
Our mission: Working together with college and university communities to create safer campuses. When institutions of higher education seek guidance on campus safety regulation, they turn to Clery Center.
