Parents and safety concerns at the University

Hey everyone,

Since my last effort at posting Group 6's video about parents and safety went awry, I figured I'd give it another shot. Here goes nothing:

  2. Hahaha! I enjoyed your video, guys! While this was very humorous, you delved into the important resources pefectly, providing bits of information about each. (i.e. the Public Safety Building and its central location)I think the safety of students is something that is always on the minds of parents, and it is not always addressed effectively. I can definitely see this as a situation that Orientation Leaders would face. Kudos to you guys for tackling such a pertinent concern of parents and addressing it well. You guys showed how not only NSO reaches out to the students to grant them safety tips, but also RUPD and other departments at Rutgers. This is definitely something to keep in mind for when we encounter the parents of other Little Jimmys. Oh yeah, the portrayal of Brian is quite awesome! =)

  3. Awesome job guys! Safety is going to be a major concern for parents and students, who are going to be away from one another for the first time. There are always going to be misconceptions about the safety of Rutgers because it is such a new environment for parents and students. Many people think because there are so many students that the campus could be unsafe. As OLs we are definitely going to have to face this issue head on. You guys did an awesome job of first bringing up the RUPD. RUPD is an awesome resource for students and the game show is a fun way to introduce this safety service. By giving the students a point in the game for adding the RUPD phone number to their cell phones, we are turning “workspace to play space”. In addition you guys mentioned the public safety building, which is another great resource for students. Once again great job guys and p.s. I loved the portrayal of Brian!

  4. This video comes off as funny, but the issues are nevertheless very important. Because of the truth behind the humor, the video comes off as a caricature of what can be expected. It may not be the funnest topic, but public safety is probably the most important part of how we acclimate students and quail the preemptive fear that parents have for the kids they are sending away. The blue emergency phone is one of the most vital resources to conciliate fears parents have about their kids being exposed to the party scene. Public safety is also a general aspect of Rutgers safety that should be known by students and teachers alike.

  5. Good job with the video! This video highlights some important concerns that parents might have about the safety of their children. These concerns are definitely going to be wide ranged with issues and we must become knowledgeable them so we can answer to the best of our abilities. RUPD is very important resources that students need to know about. Many students also need to know about blue lights are a part of a safety feature here at Rutgers. Also, bravo on the Boise State reference!

  6. haha! That really looks like Brian! Great video guys! It really touched upon things that parents are concerned with. Considering how crazy it can get party nights here at Rutgers, I think this video is a great one to even show parents! Good choices in resources. It was quirky and I loved it.

  7. hahahah you guys did great, although I do hope no one gets run over by buses. All joking aside, this was actually really important for two reasons. 1- talking about safety at Rutgers and 2- Dealing with overprotective and worried parents. This was actually something we discussed in our team meeting on Wednesday, about how it is important to smile and be respectful when a parent is naggy, pushy or rude.
    p.s.- fresh suit brian !
