The Campus Safety National Forum will be held on June 24-26 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Washington, D.C. It’s one of three events being offered by Campus Safety Magazine this year.
Colleges looking for new ways to reach students, faculty and staff should look into internal communications strategies, including digital signage.
Protecting on-campus residences is no easy task and requires the training of staff and students, appropriate policies and procedures, and the deployment of technology. Some specific wayscolleges can address your dorm security issues include finding creative ways to educate students to recognize and report other students of concern, establishing a security program that is predicated on prevention versus police response after an incident, assuring that appropriate protective and emergency planning services are provided by departments outside of residence life control and providing protection to students who likely value convenience and openness versus security and control.
Even though he works in the K-12 space, Chris Wynn shares his expertise on security systems, and how they can benefit college campuses. In a Q&A with HigherEdTD, Wynn talks about his law enforcement background, the types of security systems schools can have, access control tips, who should be involved in selecting security systems and suggestions on how to pick the security system that best fits a school’s needs.
The U.S. Department of Education will install a digital signage network for ease of use, multi-user capabilities. The digital signage display will be provided by Navori, and installed by VisualPoint.

One of the most effective ways to keep students’ eyes locked on a lesson is through rich and colorful projector presentation.
Buying a projector can be a daunting task, especially if an end-user doesn’t know what he or she is looking for. Projector expert Paul Foschino shares research tips and questions to ask before buying a projector for a college setting. Some of his tips include listing features a college wants a projector to have, deciding what the projector’s function will be, deciding where the projector will be located in the classroom and determining how much natural light penetrates the classroom. He says after a college answers each of these questions, it will be ready to make a solid projector purchase.
