The UO has scheduled three sessions of its violence prevention training program this week as awareness has been heightened following the tragic shootings at Umpqua Community College.
The sessions cover potential warning signs, information on police response capabilities and an overview of readiness activities at the campus level and for departments and individuals. The sessions also include a video that details the options individuals have when facing a violent incident.
Local bike shops, public agencies, rider clubs and LTD will be on hand to promote green options for getting to and from campus.
