Tonight’s quad concert and safety escorts

But we’ll have extra staff around the Quad for the 7 pm concert tonight, and SafeWalk escorts will run until 1 am — use the number on the back of your ID or any blue light phone. If there are paths that feel sketchy after events, tell me which ones; I’m compiling lighting and patrol requests for Facilities at 9 am tomorrow.

After the 7 pm crowd lets out, the cut‑through behind the theater toward the science lot feels sketchy; I call SafeWalk about 5 minutes before leaving so the wait’s shorter, and I’ve used the blue light at the Quad corner when my phone died. Since you’re sending requests at 9 am, please add the south path by the chapel toward College Ave — there’s a dead bulb halfway down. Also, saving the “number on the back of your ID” as a contact helps in a pinch.

Cut-through by the art studios down to the river lot is unlit after the concert; I use the “blue light phone” by the loading dock to call SafeWalk and they show in about 3 minutes. Small caveat: the 12:40–1:00 window jams up, so if you’re close to the 1 am cutoff, call the number on the back of your ID before you start walking.

Heading from the Quad to South Res, I take the service road behind the greenhouse since it’s way brighter than the creek path — @hperez’s timing tip works; I request the escort as I’m leaving so I’m waiting indoors. If they’re swamped, duck into the library lobby and ask the desk to radio it in; could Facilities check the creek path lights?

Flagging the switchback stairs behind the library down to the stadium — they’re dark enough that my phone torch feels like it’s on 1%. I keep SafeWalk’s number saved and request while I’m still by the library lights; if they’re swamped, waiting at the chapel shuttle stop is a decent backup, and @Facilities might want motion lights there.
