Walk for Light, a comprehensive campus safety check led annually by the UMass Amherst Police Department, will take place Thursday, Nov. 6, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

The Walk for Light is an opportunity for the campus community—students, faculty and staff—to work together to identify safety-related issues on campus and document those concerns for repair or other appropriate follow up. These observations may include identifying areas of concern due to poor or broken lighting, overgrown trees or bushes that reduce lighting, broken railings or uneven steps, or other safety-related issues. A final report is then compiled and sent to the appropriate UMass Amherst departments for repair.

Walk for Light will begin at the Student Union and volunteers will walk a variety of routes throughout campus. No advance registration is required to participate.

For more information, contact UMPD on their non-emergency number - 413-545-2121.
