Morris "Enough is Enough" presentation
In April 2009, UMM joined with campuses across the country to speak out, engage in dialogue, and take action to
stem the tide of societal violence during "Enough is Enough Week". Enough is Enough presentations include
information on campus safety, best practices in responding to active shooter situations, and information on
building community - one of the most important steps in preventing violence. If you would like to have the
presentation included at an upcoming staff, division, or student group meeting, please call Jen Lund in Campus
Police at 589-6000 or email lundjc@morris.umn.edu.
If you have any concerns about a troubled member of our community who is need of support, please contact Campus
Police (320-589-6000), the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (320-589-6013), or the Assistant Vice Chancellor
for Student Life (320-589-6470). These offices coordinate our response for students in need of support and lead
our
campus threat assessment team. They can be reached after business hours through Campus Police (cell phone
320-287-1601) or the local shared law enforcement dispatch (320-589-1155). In an emergency, call 9-1-1 and
Campus Police will respond.
WEATHER ALERTS/SEVERE WEATHER PROCEDURES
Travel and road condition information: www.511.mn.org.
Snow/Severe weather: If UMM should close due to severe weather, the Chancellor or another senior administrator will have a representative of
University Relations notify local media, including KMRS/KKOK, KUMM, KCCO/WCCO, KXRA, KSAX, KIKV, and the UMM Info Desk,
by 6 a.m. if possible. Anyone (faculty, students or staff) who feels unsafe traveling to campus when campus is open and classes are meeting should not come. On
such occasions, faculty should contact the appropriate division chair, students should contact their instructors, and staff should contact
their supervisers.

removal alerts and ordinances for the city of Morris. It is recommended you not leave a car parked on city streets if you will be gone for extended
periods of time (like Winter Break).
