® “What are you doing to ensure campus
safety?” This is a common question on
reservations, the minds of parents as their students at-
tend colleges and universities around the
ask for country. Here at the University of Arizona
the (UA), safety has been – and continues to
be – a top priority, as evidenced by a wide
University range of departments, programs and ser-
vices dedicated to this mission. From the
of University Police Department, Dean of Stu-
Arizona® dents Office and Campus Health Service,
to the Campus Emergency Response Team,
rate. SafeCats, SafeWalk, SafeRide, the Oasis
Program Against Sexual Assault and Rela-
tionship Violence, UAlert , and more, there
520-881-4200 are numerous people and programs across
the UA committed to making our campus
a safe place to live, work and study.
445 S. Alvernon Way To this end, The University of Arizona
dtreidpark.com Campus Health Service is encouraging
the campus community to “Step Up”

ing students and staff the skills to safely
be proactive bystanders. The list of just
what comprises interpersonal violence is
broader than most people’s assumptions.
It includes not only physical violence and
sexual assault, but also hate crimes, dis-
crimination, bullying, hazing, emotional
abuse and stalking as well.
Through a competitive U.S. Depart-
ment of Education grant awarded in June
2009, Campus Health has trained over 900
students and staff in the Step Up violence
prevention program in the past year alone
and has spearheaded a campus-wide
awareness campaign. How is this having
an impact? According to Erin Strange,
Project Coordinator on the grant, “As good
as our violence prevention services are
here, the fact is students and staff have the
potential to see issues before they become
problems, and that can make all the dif-
ference.”
Developed here through the UA C.A.T.S.
Life Skills program in partnership with the
NCAA for student athletes, Step Up was
designed to help teammates take action to
help each other on a range of issues, from
alcohol use and sexual assault, to hazing,
disordered eating, gambling and other
related concerns. For this work,
the program received a 2009 NASPA
Excellence Gold Award for administrators

in higher education.
Now in its second and final year of
funding, Campus Health’s targeted version
of Step Up has shown promising results
campus-wide. Participant’s familiarity
with appropriate reporting procedures
increased from 28% before the program to
76% following it, and willingness to “Step
Up” to address interpersonal violence
either directly or indirectly improved from
61% to 86%. Similarly, those participants

Would you like to pay less
and get more for your
housing dollars?
If you answered yes, then you should consider
living at Sahara Apartments.
Here is a comparison between what you get, and what you have to pay at one of
the on campus Residence Halls, and the Sahara.
If you live at Sahara Apartments you will have a bigger apartment, your own
kitchen and private bath (neither of which are available at the Residence Halls),
AND you will save thousands of dollars.
How much are you going to save? So glad you asked! Let’s say you were hoping to
live at the Posada San Pedro Residence Hall.
For 2011-2012, we estimate* that it would cost $10,262 to live in a single
occupancy ROOM for a total of 8 months. You live there from approximately
August 19 to December 18, (you HAVE to leave for the holidays) and then come
back from approximately January 9 to May 14.
When you live in one of Sahara’s single-occupancy studio apartments (with your
own kitchen and private bath), you pay only $5,805 to live there for 9 months
(from August 15, 2011 to May 15th 2012). And, you DON’T HAVE to leave during
Christmas holiday breaks!
