More than a dozen departments and companies participated in the safety fair and were excited to share a wealth of knowledge with the Howard University community. Topics discussed among students and Howard’s Department of Public Safety included, ride-sharing safety, cyber security, CPR, sexual health, and more. 

Marcus E. Lyles, Howard University chief of police, spoke with individual students at the fair about their safety concerns.  

“I hope students come away from today’s event feeling empowered and with a better understanding of the services available.” It is his hope that students can connect with the Department of Public Safety and work collectively to keep the campus safe.    

The offices in attendance included the Office of Student Advocacy and Support, Office of Student Accessibility, Office of Military and Veteran Affairs, Howard University College of Medicine, Community and Family Medicine, Chase Bank, HU Department of Public Safety, Fisher Scientific, University Counseling Services, Division of Student Affairs, Grub Hub, US Department of Homeland Security, Office of Inter-Personal Violence, Crime Victims Compensation Program, Howard University Urban Health Initiative, and DC Metropolitan Police Department.
