Dear 91¹ú²ú Community,

Welcome to the start of the Fall 2026 semester. Because September is National Campus Safety Awareness Month, we’d like to share some important reminders.

A secure, welcoming environment is fundamental to everything we do. Guided by our core values of pride, professionalism and service, the Department of Public Safety and Transportation works to ensure that every Panther feels respected and secure. But we cannot do it without you; your eyes, ears and everyday awareness are our greatest assets.

Whether you are stepping onto campus for the first time or returning for your final year, here are a few ways you can partner with us this semester:

  • Stay aware: Keep an eye on your surroundings as you move around campus.
  • Speak up: If something feels off or you see something suspicious, please let us know right away.
  • Check out our resources: Take a look at our website for safety support and resources.
  • Grow your skills: Explore our safety training opportunities (see below).

Public Safety is here for you 24/7 if you need a hand, an escort, or have a question. We are a phone call away at 516.877.3511 or a short walk to Levermore Hall (1st Floor).

Thank you for doing your part to keep our community strong and safe. Let’s look out for one another and make this semester a great one!

In Partnership,
Department of Public Safety and Transportation

Important Safety Resources and Information

If you see something, say something: If you become aware of an issue, incident or troubling situation that causes you anxiety, stress or fear, you should promptly report it. If the situation appears imminent and/or includes the risk of violence to yourself or others, call 911, contact Public Safety by dialing “5” from any campus phone or call 516.877.3511.

Mass Notification System: To ensure you receive emergency and campus closure messages without delay, take a few moments to confirm your Emergency Notification Preferences to stay updated.

  • Don’t miss an 91¹ú²ú Alert—save 516.234.5783 in your contacts so it won’t be marked as spam.

Resources for Your Preparedness

  • Request a Public Safety training for your department or group to learn important ways to be prepared for hostile intruder events, including run, hide, fight guidelines and Stop The Bleed life-saving techniques.
  • Videos to watch:
    • : resources to help you stay safe on campus and in our community.
    • : learn what to do during a lockdown/shelter in place due to a hostile intruder.
    • : familiarize yourself with our three types of classroom door locks.
  • Understand what to do during a campus lockdown/shelter-in-place situation.
  • Know our evacuation procedures in case an emergency makes this necessary.
  • Stop the Bleed kits are mounted in all public safety vehicles and in the Performing Arts Center, Center for Recreation and Sports, Swirbul Library, Nexus, Levermore Hall and the University Center.
  • The University Center has automated external defibrillator (AED) devices for trained individuals to use.

Our Preparedness

  • Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT): 91¹ú²ú was one of the first institutions to establish a dedicated team for monitoring and addressing reported safety concerns. BIT (previously the Threat Assessment Team) is coordinated by Public Safety to help address or prevent serious safety issues that involve our community in support of 91¹ú²ú’s incident reporting and resolution procedures.
  • Testing and Practice: At least once a year we test our Emergency Operations Plan and our Mass Notification System (Text/Call). Our Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is published annually (in October) in accordance with the Clery Act. And, in support of our goal to always be prepared and ready, our department and 91¹ú²ú’s leaders practice the University’s emergency response on an ongoing basis with tabletop exercises.
  • Local Police Support: We maintain close working relationships with the police departments of Garden City, Hempstead, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Poughkeepsie and New York City. All 91¹ú²ú campus locations are supported by these police services, including criminal investigation and emergency response.

This testing is required by New York state and should have minimal impact on your day. During testing, you may hear an alarm for a few seconds; evacuation is not required. In a true emergency, the alarms would ring continuously, and we would directly communicate any need to evacuate.

Following testing, there may be a slight discoloration of the water in some campus buildings. This temporary condition can be easily resolved by running the water for a minute or two.

We appreciate your understanding and support of our community’s continued safety and well-being.

Joining a student organization at 91¹ú²ú is a positive, growth-oriented experience grounded in respect, safety and belonging. To reinforce these values and comply with the Stop Campus Hazing Act (Clery Act), 91¹ú²ú publishes a Campus Hazing Transparency Report and maintains a strict Anti-Hazing Policy. The report provides students, families and the campus community with clear, accurate information about substantiated hazing incidents involving recognized student organizations, supporting safe and informed participation in campus life.

What is the Campus Hazing Transparency Report?

While our Anti-Hazing Policy defines hazing and outlines prohibited conduct, the Campus Hazing Transparency Report serves as a public log of substantiated incidents in which established or recognized student organizations were found responsible for hazing violations. It includes:

  • The organization’s name and the nature of the violation.
  • Specific findings, including whether alcohol or drugs were involved.
  • Disciplinary sanctions and key dates of the investigation and adjudication (finding of responsibility).

View the Current Report

The report is updated every December and June and can be viewed on Adelphi’s Stop Campus Hazing web page.

  • January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026: No incidents of hazing that resulted in investigation and adjudication were reported during this period.

Our Commitment to a Safe Campus

Adelphi opposes hazing in any form. We remind all students, faculty and staff that our Anti-Hazing Policy applies to all student organizations—whether officially recognized by the University or not. Violations may result in serious consequences under both the Adelphi Code of Conduct and New York state Penal Law (Sections 120.16 and 120.17), ranging from University expulsion to potential criminal penalties.

This Report Differs From the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report

Later this year, hazing statistics will also be included in Adelphi’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASFSR), published annually by October 1. Both reports include information about hazing but serve different purposes and follow different federal reporting requirements.

  • Campus Hazing Transparency Report: A public record of only substantiated findings of responsibility involving recognized student organizations.
  • Annual Security and Fire Safety Report: An anonymous statistical summary of all reported hazing allegations occurring within Clery-defined geography, regardless of whether the allegations were substantiated. Because the ASFSR includes all reported allegations, its hazing statistics may be higher than those included in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report.

If You Witness or Experience Hazing

We strongly encourage timely reporting to the appropriate authorities through the following channels:

  • Public Safety: Report hazing by visiting our office on the first floor of Levermore Hall or calling 516.877.3511 (24/7). Reports are shared with Student Conduct and Community Standards.
  • Student Conduct and Community Standards: Visit Levermore Hall, room 208, call 516.877.3612 or email studentconduct@adelphi.edu. Reports are shared with Public Safety.
  • : Submit reports via the University’s , selecting “Hazing†as the main issue. Providing as much detail as possible will help us respond effectively. These reports can be submitted anonymously.

Thank you for helping foster a culture of respect, safety and belonging for every member of our community.
