As UT students move in, Safe Horns urge vigilance in West Campus

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Officials warn that while move-in chaos is enough on its own, students in West Campus should stay alert.

“Students, their parents and anyone who lives or works in the campus community always need to be situationally aware,” said Joell McNew, president of SafeHorns, a campus safety advocacy group.

McNew said there have been assaults in the area and urged students to report suspicious behavior immediately.

“It’s important that if you see criminal activity happening, you need to make the call to 911. Don’t assume someone else has already made that call,” she said.

Students can also download the LiveSafe app to report crime. And if they don’t feel comfortable walking home alone, a West Campus Ambassador can escort them.

SafeHorns also publishes a list of habitual offenders in West Campus. 

“This is just a glimpse for awareness of the repeat offenders in our area. It provides the mugshot, the types of crimes, the arrests,” McNew said.
