Safest College in Utah

By Tracie Semadeni

Snow College was ranked as the safest college campus in Utah for the year 2020 by yourlocalsecurity.com. This ranking was based on data submitted to the U.S. Department of Education’s Campus Safety and Security and the FBI’s 2018 Uniform Crime Report.

Travis Walker, deputy risk manager and Title IX coordinator at Snow College, stated that it was great to hear how well the College is doing. He added that as someone who has already sent three kids off to college, their safety is his number one concern. Knowing that Snow College is a safe place to send students can give families so much peace and comfort. At Snow College, there are places for students to receive help on campus, emergency numbers to call 24/7, and more resources outlined on Snow’s website – all to ensure student safety and success.

Employees at the College strive to ensure that all feel not only safe, but welcome. Snow College has always been known for its outstanding professors and staff who go above and beyond to help students both in and out of the classroom. Many faculty and staff are trained first responders and will often be seen around campus helping students. For example, it is not unusual to hear of professors walking students to the Wellness Center to ensure they get the support they need.

This Spirit of Snow has tied generations of students together and has kept students returning each year. It is a home away from home for many, and that is due to the hard work and dedication of each person on campus and in the surrounding communities. Being ranked as the safest campus in Utah is not a surprise, but such a tribute to all members of Snow College.
