OIP Helps Emory University Reach Safe Community Designation

The National Safety Council has designated Emory University as a Safe Community through its Safe Communities America program. Emory University is just the second academic institution in the U.S. to be recognized as an international Safe Community and the first on the East Coast. The designation is for the work of the Emory Safety Alliance and encompasses all things related to injuries, prevention, response and control including everything from emergency preparedness to sexual assault prevention and pedestrian safety.

The Department of Public Health – Office of Injury Prevention helped make this designation possible with $4,000 of funding in one of their grants to address the safety of pedestrians crossing Clifton Road, a busy street on Emory’s campus. Watch more about this impressive designation here.
