Be safe during break

Since so many members of the undergraduate and graduate community leave the campus during the holiday break, the MIT Police has reminded community members to secure their offices and any valuables before leaving for vacation.

The level of activity in most buildings across the university will reduce dramatically during break, so any and all items of value should be in locked desks or cabinets.

Report any suspicious activity or suspicious people to the MIT Police at x3-1212. In an emergency, use a blue-light telephone or dial x100.
