Summer crimes

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, summer has the highest rate of household property crimes than any other season. Avoid becoming a victim by following some preventive safety tips:

• If you’re going on vacation, don’t spread the word. Avoid posting your plans on social media (i.e., Facebook, Instagram, etc.) and don’t share vacation pictures until after you return.
• Have someone collect your mail or have it held at the post office until you return. Suspend newspaper deliveries while you’re away. If you expect a package delivery, ask a neighbor or friend to watch for it.
• Set a timer for your lights to turn on and off; this will give the impression someone is home.
• Be sure all doors and window are locked, including garage doors.
• If you will be away for an extended time period, have someone take care of your lawn. Overgrown grass is a sign that owners may be away.
• Give a spare key to a trusted friend and have him/her check on your house while you’re away. Be sure s/he knows how to reach you while you’re on vacation or check in with him/her occasionally.

If your Messiah College employee ID Card has an expiration date and that date is approaching, please visit the Falcon Exchange, 243 Eisenhower Campus Center, to receive a new Employee ID Card.

ID cards will no longer function for print, copy, dining or door access once they reach the expiration date on the card so it is imperative you replace your card prior to the expiration date. Employees needing new ID cards should visit Falcon Exchange in person. Please bring your existing ID card with you and allow 10-15 minutes for processing.

RightNow Media offered free to all employees

Messiah College has subscribed to RightNow Media to make this library of video resources available free of charge to interested students, employees, parents and alumni of the college. RightNow Media provides a range of resources–entertainment, bible study materials, conference keynote addresses, sermons, ministry training, children’s videos, etc. This resource is being offered through a generous gift to the college so that you can enjoy these resources without any cost to you or your family. On June 1, you should have received an introductory email from RightNow Media that would allow you to sign-up for this online resource. They also sent out three reminder emails. Some employees thought it may have been a hoax and others saw this email in their junk folder. It is not; over 1,130 members of the Messiah community have already signed up for this free service. Please note that making these resources available to the Messiah community does not implicitly or explicitly suggest that the College endorses the content or perspectives presented by every resource. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email jmcclymont@messiah.edu.

It’s that time of year again when people head to the pools and beaches. While water can be refreshing and relaxing, it can also be deadly.
