"I represent Oak Hall. I am available for any questions and/or concerns throughout the semester so do not hesitate to call or email. A quick safety tip is to stay off your cellphones and iPods when walking to and from your destinations. Lessen your chances of becoming a target! Also, walk with a buddy if available. Have a safe and happy school year!"

"As we all know, a crime equals a criminal's motive plus his or her opportunity. Don't be victim to their opportunity by maintaining power in numbers, and keeping your valuables in a secure place. Always be aware of your surroundings and always expect the unexpected. Newark is a big city, don't mistake kindness for weakness."
