🚨 Campus Safety
Public Safety officers patrol campus 24 hours a day and residence halls are always locked; students can only gain access to residence halls with their Cabrini ID cards. There is also an emergency notification system that students and parents can sign up for, which sends text and email alerts if there is a weather-related or other emergency on or near campus.
All members of the Department of Public Safety participate in annual training programs including CPR, first aid, use of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED), conflict and crisis resolution, patrol procedures, fire safety, and more.
The Department works with Radnor Township or Pennsylvania State Police as necessary. Public Safety officers neither carry weapons nor have arrest powers, but work with the police when an arrest is warranted.
The Campus Safety Act—known as the Clery Act—provides students and families with information needed to make informed decisions about campus safety. In accordance with federal guidelines, Cabrini University reports annual statistics of crime on campus. This report can be found on the Public Safety website

😡 Helping Your Student Through a Roommate Conflict
If your student is having a difficult transition to sharing a room with another person, commiserate with your student, but remember you are only getting one side of the story. Roommate problems are common, because sharing space with a new person is hard. Many students call home to vent, making the problems seem bigger than they are to hide what is bothering them.
As much as you want to help, try to let your student work it out without assistance. Here are some tips you can use to help them sort out the situation:
1. Have they talked? Has your student talked to the roommate about the issue? Has your student talked to the roommate about how they feel? “Bad” roommates might not realize that they are driving other people nuts. Avoiding conflict only leads to more conflict.
2. What is really the issue? Students tend to blame things on the roommate when they are having a difficult time in their classes, meeting friends, or finding space to study. It is important to help your student pinpoint what is at the heart of the matter.
3. They are not alone. The Resident Assistant (RA) is there to listen, to be a friend, and has been trained to handle all sorts of roommate conflicts. They will make sure that both roommates are heard and listened to. Ask your student if they have gone to the RA for help.
If the situation is too severe for the RA, the RA will make a referral to Residence Life staff, who then will meet with each student and make a determination about what action to take in the matter. After any action has been taken, Residence Life will follow up with the roommates to make sure that they are doing better or will take additional action to resolve any further issues.
