Although there is only so much an institution can do to protect against the type of tragedy that recently occurred at Virginia Tech, in view of this situation SMU has reminded the campus community about its emergency procedures. The University constantly monitors and updates its procedures as it continues to learn from others in the higher education community and from the security and law enforcement professions.

For procedures and resources, SMU’s Web site at www.smu.edu contains information and links to more detailed information.

SMU students organized a prayer service and candlelight vigil in memory of the students and faculty who died April 16 in Blacksburg, Virginia.
