The fifth annual Campus Safety Walk took place Monday evening to pinpoint safety hazards across the ISU campus.

The safety walk is organized by the Government of the Student Body and the Inter-Residence Hall Association. Its purpose is to increase safety for students, faculty and visitors of Iowa State, said Kelsey Gent, junior in food science.

With a turnout of 25 students and faculty last year, the number of participants doubled this time around.

“I think that joining with IRHA this year was a good idea and was a huge help to the better turnout,” Gent said.

Upon meeting outside of the Memorial Union, the students and faculty were divided into groups to walk around campus and locate hazards. The groups were assigned different areas and discovered lighting outages, uneven sidewalks, and bushes or brush in the way of walking areas. 

The collected data will be sent to the Department of Public Safety for repair and maintenance.
