Barrios 1 Arlin Barrios Professor Kimball English 102-2005 14 November 2022 Student Emergency Awareness At the College of Southern Nevada(CSN), emergency evacuation plans are planted around campus, instructing students where to exit in case of an emergency, such as a fire. Aside from an evacuation plan, there are no other physical guides on campus for students to use in case of an emergency. Many of these evacuation plans have routes that are inaccessible to those with disabilities. With unpredictable emergencies, such as fire, power outages, and gas leaks, students need to know what to do in case of these emergencies and how to help their fellow students in case of these events. I propose making the CSN Emergency response guide more accessible to students by making professors include them in their syllabus. Professors at CSN already have certain information they must include in their syllabus, including CSN’s plagiarism policy and information on academic dishonesty. Including a link or informing students where to find the emergency response guide would allow students to feel safer on campus. In a survey done at York County Community College (YCCC), a community college in Maine, students, staff, and faculty were surveyed on their knowledge of safety procedures and resources available on campus. 77% of those surveyed never had an experience where they felt unsafe, a later question asked if they knew campus emergency procedures a 62% of those surveyed were aware of these procedures. ( Campus Safety Survey ) Students, knowing campus procedures, gives them a sense of security on campus. If CSN made students more aware

While students being aware of where to find the emergency plan is ideal in order to ensure students a sense of security, not all students read their syllabus. A Tennessee professor put this to test and created a hunt for a cash prize with his clues in his syllabus. “This would have led students to a locker that contained a $50 bill, free to the first student to claim it. But at the end of the semester, when he went to check the locker, the bill was still there.” (CNN) With professors all having information on academic dishonesty and other policies at CSN, students may think that the emergency response guide is just another standard policy at CSN and not worth reading.
