HOUGHTON, MI-- College Magazine has ranked Michigan Technological University the safest college campus in the nation.
The magazine released its ranking of the 10 Safest College Campuses this week. It cites a long list of safety initiatives at Tech, including the Resident Officer Program, RAD—or Rape Awareness Defense, alcohol/drug awareness programs, the Staying Safe at Tech presentation, and the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence.
The magazine notes Tech’s crime rate is 53 percent lower than the average for college campuses.
Tech Chief of Police Brian Cadwell says the distinction is the result of a strong partnership between the university and the broader community.
