WSU Safe Walk Program

SAFE WALK PROGRAM:

 

   The WSUPD offers a free Safe Walk program to our students, staff and faculty.  If anyone, at any time, feels uneasy about walking on campus, simply call WSUPD (313-577-2222)  from any phone and request the Safe Walk service. We will dispatch a uniformed and radio equipped Cadet to walk with you to your destination. If a Cadet is not available, we will dispatch a patrol officer in a marked scout car to provide the service.

 

   Please note that we can not provide Safe Walks on a regular, daily or by appointment, basis. If you need regularly scheduled or  periodic transportation to locations on and around the WSU campus, or the Detroit Medical Center or Henry Ford Hospital campus, you may wish to consider the WSU/Midtown Detroit Connection for shuttle service in and around the WSU campus. Main campus and medical campus shuttle information and hours of operation, parking lot locations, hours and costs, etc, can be found at: http://transportation.wayne.edu/index.php

 

The shuttle service is free, requiring only that you display your WSU OneCard to the shuttle driver.

Film Viewing

Access Services can set up film viewing and provide technical assistance for 16mm film. We have a 16mm projector and screen. We coordinate the film setup and room-booking at an available room in the UGL at the user request (time subject to room availability). We will be on site during the first 10 minutes of the viewing to ensure no technical problems, and will return after the viewing to break down the setup. WSULS does not support 35mm film.

The film collection was reviewed in December 2006, and 90% of catalog records suppressed from public display. Additionally, many films located in the WSULS collections are not cataloged.
