"We’ve all become accustomed to watching violence and chaos on the news that it does not feel as though it applies to our own personal lives until we experience it ourselves. Everyone knows that it’s immoral, but few choose to act upon their conscience. The purpose of a Green Dot is to counteract a Red Dot, which are words and actions that cause harm to others. I've decided to become a Green Dot as my contribution to society." --Stephanie R. #VIP #ViolenceInterventionPreventionCenter #CollegeCampus #CollegeSafety #CollegeStudents #BergenCommunityCollege #GreenDot #SexualAssault #DomesticViolence #Stalking #GreenDotStudentAmbassadors #SupportSurvivors #SupportVictims (at Bergen Community College) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpRm56UD63S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vgswrupfbh0g

UIC ranks No. 1 in safety

Picture from UIC News and UIC today. 

UIC is the safest college campus in Illinois, according to a list from ADT Security Services, an award-winning provider of security solutions for homes and businesses.

Called 2018’s Safest College Campuses By State, the list identifies and ranks the nation’s safest schools using data from crime reports and considering other factors like campus size, type, location and crimes that occur.

First among Illinois universities on the list is UIC.

Does that surprise us? Nope. We take campus safety seriously here. In fact, we have many ongoing efforts to keep our students, staff and faculty out of harm’s way:

UIC Police is a police force of more than 80 sworn officers who work to keep the campus and nearby neighborhoods safe with patrols, an after-hours escort service and a number of crime prevention programs. The station also has a safe zone for meeting online buyers and sellers in person. UIC is also patrolled by Chicago and State Police.

Red Car Service transports employees and students within a designated area from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. seven days a week—including holidays.

UIC ALERT sends SMS and email notifications to community members about things that happen on campus. The emergency system also includes audible alerts, the UIC website and a UIC Hotline [phone]).

Crime and safety alerts are sent to students and employees through email. These notices help students and employees stay informed about serious or continuing threats to campus.

UIC Rave Guardian is a free and accessible mobile safety application that allows ‘guardians’ (i.e. parents) to track a student who feels unsure about the area they’re in or the people that are around them. The app also lets students text UIC Police, provide anonymous tips for crimes and more.

More than 1,300 StarTel blue-light stations throughout east and west campus connect users directly to the police dispatch. A red call button also activates an alarm and flashing lights.

We have more than 1,000 security cameras in all common areas of campus housing, inside classroom buildings, and on and around the quad. Closed circuit security systems monitor other high-risk and sensitive areas with 24-hour surveillance

Campus and Fleet Watch programs let staff and employees who work in radio dispatched roles act as “eyes and ears” for UIC Police.

Residence Hall Security cover all housing entrances. IDs for residents and their guests are always checked and guests must be signed in by a resident.

UIC was also recently recognized as one of the safest colleges in America by the National Council for Home Safety and Security, which generated the ranking based on data gathered from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting and the National Center for Education Statistics.

SELF-DEFENSE FOR WOMEN

There is a certain mental state of mind that takes over when you find yourself in a threatening situation.  Experts call this Tachypsychia.

Tachypsychia is a distorted sense of size and time and it is very common under stress. Movie makers use slow motion at some critical moments to try to convey this mental state. Another very common effect of stress, one that can occur with tachypsychia or alone, is tunnel vision.

One victim describes this sensation very well.  "I didn't know anything about anything that was around me. I was aware of what was in front of me and of him. I knew exactly that I had a gun in my hand, and I knew where he was. Other than that, I couldn't have told you anything. It could have come up a blizzard in the middle of the parking lot, and I wouldn't have noticed. I thought I was going nuts!"

It’s almost as if life is happening around you, but you are invisible.  The world begins to occur in slow motion and you are acutely aware of sounds like your own breath or the bead of sweat that is falling from your forehead.  

You may feel paralyzed and out of control, but the exact opposite is true.  You are in full control, you are just at another level of consciousness – that of taking your life into your own hands and holding on to it with all your might.

Also called the “fight or flight” response of the body to an event our mind considers threatening, tachypsychia is believed to include some or all of, but is not limited to, the following occurrences:

·      The autonomous nervous system is stimulated causing the adrenal glands to release the hormone epinephrine (or adrenaline) directly into the blood stream which affects the body in various ways.

·      The cardiovascular system responds with increased heart rate and blood pressure.  Your pulse will race and you will be susceptible to fainting.

·      The respiratory system will dilate the bronchial passages allowing a higher absorption of oxygen.  Your pupils will dilate to allow more light to enter.  The tunnel vision will result in a loss of peripheral vision, but you will have greater focus.

·      Glucose will release into the blood stream thus releasing extra energy by raising the blood sugar level.

·      You won’t hear much around you although you might have intensified hearing when in the midst of gunfire.  You can actually hear the individual empty shell casings hitting the ground.

·      You may find yourself with an increased level of pain tolerance, a loss of color vision, a bit of short term memory loss, loss of fine motor skills, and an inability to communicate.

·      You could lose the ability to reason effectively along with not knowing the right thing to do – a loss of common sense.  

·      It is also normal to have a decrease in coordination along with a loss of the ability to walk or run.

·      Above all else, you will have a misperception of the passage of time.  A second will seem like an hour.

When under extreme conditions of stress, the condition of tachypsychia is common and normal, although it won’t seem like it at the time. You will recall this later, but not while it is happening.  However, if you know that the condition will present itself, while it is happening to you, you won’t be taken in by it.  You will just react the way your body wants you to.
