UA SafeCats

 Launched in fall 2009, the UA SafeCats Program is a proactive educational campaign that disperses information related to safety on and off campus for students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni and other university community members through various avenues.

SafeCats was created in response to a UA Student Safety Survey completed in spring 2008. This program provides access to a "one-stop shop" network that brings safety to the forefront of campus life.

In recognition of the difference one person can make in the life of another, the SafeCats program in the Dean of Students presents the Difference of One award to students, staff and faculty who have gone above and beyond to help a fellow Wildcats in distress. Nominations are accepted year-round.

Safe Baby/Safe Haven Program

In 2009, a partnership between the Dean of Students Office, Pima County Attorney's Office, and Casa de los Niños was established with the purpose of launching a campaign which provides information concerning the Tucson Safe Baby Program. The Safe Baby Program allows the anonymous transfer of a newborn baby at any local hospital, clinic or fire department station.
