In an effort to provide
added security measures at Cleveland State, the college has purchased Code Blue
emergency blue light pedestals to be placed in different locations throughout
the main campus and one at the CSCC Athens site.
The idea for the Code
Blue emergency blue light pedestals was originally voiced in the Student Senate,”
stated Will Lunny, Student Senate President. “Students were concerned about the
lack of light and security for night classes. Kylee Sherlin (former Student
Senate President) and I agreed wholeheartedly and decided to look into it. As
Benjamin Franklin is famous for saying, ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure,’ I feel we need to address issues before they happen. Be active,
not reactive. I hope that we never have to use them, but I’m glad we have them.
I think they are an example of how important student safety is to the school.”
The emergency pedestals
will include an overhead camera for additional security for parking lots as
well as video. They will also have an InterAct speakerphone designed to be able
to dial “Campus Security” for non-emergency situations by pushing a small black
button and “911” for emergencies by pushing a large red button. Automated
External Defibrillator (AED) units are available within each pedestal for
release by security in the event of cardiac arrest.
Dr. Carl Hite, CSCC
President, said, “I appreciate all of the work the Student Senate put toward
making this happen. I feel like our campus is already a safe campus, but these
will make it even safer. These pedestals will act as both a prevention tool and
also increase our response time if an emergency situation did occur.”
Lunny said, “I would like
to thank everyone that made this possible from the students who brought it to
our attention to the staff who had to deal with all the paperwork. This thing
was a real team effort.”
