Take notes on a relevant conversation you overhear that pertains to your beat.

 

Date:  December 3, 2025
Location: Student Center Café
    Two students were discussing the recent increase in bike thefts on campus.                            

One student said, “I can’t believe someone stole a bike right outside the library in broad daylight.”    The other replied, “Yeah, I heard campus police are going to start giving out free bike locks.”            

Both agreed that more security cameras are needed, especially near the residence halls and main walkways.

One student mentioned they don’t always feel safe walking back to their dorm at night,especially after late classes.

They also talked about wanting more safety escorts available in the evenings.

The conversation ended with one student planning to attend the upcoming SGA Town Hall to ask about campus safety measures.

Reflection:
This conversation highlights real concerns students have about theft, personal safety, and the effectiveness of current security measures. Their suggestions more cameras and safety escorts could be valuable interview questions for campus police or administrators. The mention of the SGA Town Hall shows students want to be heard and involved in decisions about campus safety.

       Recently, there was a break in at the CAU Suites on campus. A student’s dorm room was vandalized and several things were stolen. I went to check out the area where the break in had taken place. I went to see if the freshman at the entrance of the dorm were talking about what had happened. While I did not hear any students talking about the incident, I could feel that the atmosphere around the dorm was a little tense. There were more campus police outside than usual. According to the news and Instagram, there were some clothes missing, but the perpetrators had made a huge mess in the dorm room. A story idea I have is to follow up with the continuing investigation around the area and interview students on how they feel about this dramatic experience on campus.

While walking through the Student Center today, I spotted a bright flyer on the bulletin board: “SGA: Students Have a Voice! Share your concerns, ideas, and questions at our next Town Hall. Your input helps shape campus life and safety at CAU!” The flyer invites all students to attend the upcoming SGA Town Hall meeting on Monday November 17 2025, the scheduled time 5:00 pm where they can speak directly with student leaders about issues like campus safety, resources, and student life. There’s also an email and social media handle for submitting questions if you can’t attend in person. This message is a reminder that student government wants everyone to feel included and empowered to help guide decisions on campus. I’ll be following the SGA’s efforts and attending the meeting to see what concerns students bring up especially those related to safety and well-being.
