Carl Sandburg College is committed to a campus-wide approach to safety, security, and the well-being of our faculty, staff, students, and the overall campus community. The College continues to demonstrate this commitment through the implementation of various safety and security initiatives, some of which are listed here.
 

Although the vast majority of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors do not experience crime at Carl Sandburg College, crime sometimes occurs despite our best efforts. The best protection against campus crime is an aware, informed, and alert campus community that reports crime and suspicious behavior in a timely manner while using reason and caution during their daily activities.
 

As part of the overall effort to prevent crime, the College utilizes the following resources:

• A 24/7 campus public safety personnel presence. The College also has a strong working relationship with the Galesburg Police Department. Officers can be dispatched from city locations to campus within minutes.
• More than two-dozen emergency call boxes, which serve as a direct, indoor/outdoor link to Campus Public Safely from almost everywhere on campus.
• State of the art security camera monitoring system consisting of over 90 cameras placed in various locations throughout all Sandburg campuses that are recorded 24 hours a day.
• Sustainable Security Program (SSP) provides updated and continual training for faculty, staff, and security personnel to ensure that the safety/security policies and procedures in place are best for the college community.
• The development and implementation of a Campus Behavioral Intervention/ Threat Assessment Plan (BIT) which will assist in the early detection and reporting of a student, faculty, or staff member who may be of harm to themselves, others, or a threat to the safe environment of the college.

WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW CAN HURT YOU…

The college years are a very special time of life. For many students, it is a time of new freedom and choices. It is a time of new personal discovery and the possibilities for the future are open and endless. Decisions are made daily that profoundly influence a student’s future – i.e. whether to go to class, whether to go to work, whether to study or whether to “party”. With each decision, consequences - either positive or negative result.

It is no secret that “recreational drug use and social drinking” is part of the college scene. Students are often faced with peer pressure to experiment with substances – street drugs, non-prescribed pharmaceuticals, newly emerging synthetic substances, and/or alcohol. Some students seem to participate in such activities with little to no apparent consequence. But this is deceptive. The physical and psychological effects of alcohol and drug use/abuse are many and varied. The effects are unpredictable and vary from person to person. Whether a person decides to use alcohol or drugs is a personal decision. But sadly, alcoholism and drug dependence, are not simply a matter of choice. In some respects, substance use is akin to playing Russian roulette. For some, it is a very slippery slope that can lead to full-blown addiction, legal problems, illness, disability, or even death. For those with a family history of alcoholism or addiction, the chances of developing a problem increase dramatically.

The following list of potential health risks, although not exhaustive, are given to assist students in making informed decisions about their bodies and health. Health consequences may be immediate or delayed, short-term, or long-term. Alcohol and drugs, by design, produce physical and/or psychological change(s) and can interfere with the brain's ability to take in, sort, and synthesize information. Simply stated, alcohol and drugs are toxins and therefore toxic to the human body.

Potential Risks:

Academic Risks

• Poor academic performance
• Unwanted pregnancy
• Impact on future career prospects
• Memory loss
• Impaired judgment
• Poor hand and eye coordination
• Poor concentration

Mental Health Risks

• May exacerbate pre-existing conditions

• Increased risk of suicide

May also cause:

PREVENTING ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE

Understanding why people use alcohol and drugs can help prevent abuse. Knowing the underlying reasons for use and the payoff involved can help people start to explore alternative ways to get their needs met. Many people are unaware of why they use it. Seeking the help of a professional is sometimes needed. Counselors, advisors, pastors, teachers, etc, can help people understand the payoff of substance use and assist in the exploration of alternative methods to get the same payoff. Although substance use is never encouraged, it should be noted that not all people who use substances will develop a problem.

Young people are most vulnerable to alcohol and drug abuse during times of transition. College is a huge transitional period when young people are confronted with many new emotional and social challenges. When asked why they use, young people most commonly respond that they want to change the way they feel, or to “get high.”

Other possible reasons include:

• Escape school and family pressures
• Low self-esteem
• Acceptance by peers
• Difficulty adjusting to change
• To feel adult-like or sophisticated
• Curiosity
• Perception of low risk associated with alcohol and drug use
• Availability of alcohol or drugs
• Self-medicating a mental health disorder such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, or ADHD
• Role modeled behavior by family members, friends, and/or public figures or entertainers
• Boredom
• Stress Relief
• The rationalization that prescription medication is approved by a doctor
• Unintentional dependence due to medication prescribed for an injury
• Attempts to cover painful past memories

What can you do to protect yourself and reduce the risk of alcohol and drug problems?

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. cite the following 10 tips:

1. Don’t Be Afraid to Say No: Sometimes, our fear of negative reaction from our friends, or others we don’t even know, keeps us from doing what we know is right. Real simple, it may seem like “everyone is doing it,” but they are not. Don’t let someone else make your decisions for you. If someone is pressuring you to do something that's not right for you, you have the right to say no, the right not to give a reason why, and the right to just walk away.
2. Connect With Your Friends and Avoid Negative Peer Pressure: Pay attention to who you are hanging out with. If you are hanging out with a group in which the majority of kids are drinking alcohol or using drugs to get high, you may want to think about making some new friends. You may be headed toward an alcohol and drug problem if you continue to hang around others who routinely drink alcohol, smoke marijuana, abuse prescription drugs, or use illegal drugs. You don't have to go along to get along.
3. Make Connections With Your Parents or Other Adults: As you grow up, having people you can rely on, people you can talk to about life, life’s challenges, and your decisions about alcohol and drugs is very important. The opportunity to benefit from someone else’s life experiences can help put things in perspective and can be invaluable.
4. Enjoy Life and Do What You Love - Don’t Add Alcohol and Drugs: Learn how to enjoy life and the people in your life, without adding alcohol or drugs. Alcohol and drugs can change who you are, limit your potential, and complicate your life. Too often, “I’m bored” is just an excuse. Get out and get active in school and community activities such as music, sports, arts, or a part-time job. Giving back as a volunteer is a great way to gain perspective on life.
5. Follow the Family Rules About Alcohol and Drugs: As you grow up and want to assume more control over your life, having the trust and respect of your parents is very important. Don’t let alcohol and drugs come between you and your parents. Talking with mom and dad about alcohol and drugs can be very helpful.
6. Get Educated About Alcohol and Drugs: You cannot rely on the myths and misconceptions that are out there floating around among your friends and on the internet. Your ability to make the right decisions includes getting educated. Visit Learn About Alcohol and Learn About Drugs. As you learn, share what you are learning with your friends and your family.
7. Be a Role Model and Set a Positive Example: Don’t forget, what you do is more important than what you say! You are setting the foundation and direction for your life; where are you headed?
8. Plan Ahead: As you make plans for the party or going out with friends you need to plan ahead. You need to protect yourself and be smart. Don’t become a victim of someone else’s alcohol or drug use. Make sure that there is someone you can call, day or night, no matter what if you need them. And, do the same for your friends.
9. Speak Out/Speak Up/Take Control: Take responsibility for your life, your health, and your safety. Speak up about what alcohol and drugs are doing to your friends, your community and encourage others to do the same.
10. Get Help!: If you or someone you know is in trouble with alcohol or drugs, get help. Don’t wait. You are not alone.
