At Greensboro College, safety is a primary consideration in the maintenance, groundskeeping, and lighting of the campus. If Security discovers a broken window or a nonfunctional light, the Maintenance Department is informed. Campus Safety and Security also works closely with the Office of the Vice President for Student Services to ensure that safety policies and procedures are executed uniformly and conveyed in a clear and consistent manner to the College 's students, faculty, and staff.
