Campus Security & Public Safety

Two female visitors to GU reported that around 10:40 PM yesterday evening (June 21), while walking in the area 1100 block of Standard near DeSmet Circle, a silver in color sedan stopped near them. There were three males in the vehicle, described as late twenties/early thirties, all with “scruffy” facial hair. The passenger asked the two if they wanted to “go for a ride”.  The two immediately went to a group of people in vicinity of the incident without making contact with the vehicle and reported the incident to a staff member.  They reported seeing the vehicle a few moments later on Dakota adjacent to Welch Residence hall and then slowly driveway towards Hamilton.

GU Security responded and checked the area for the vehicle, which could not be located.   Gonzaga community members are reminded of the following safety tips: 

• If you have to walk, do so in groups especially after dark. Try to use well-lit, busy routes. Be aware of your surroundings.
• Utilize Security escorts to travel across campus: 313-2222.
• Once you are in safe place, report suspicious persons or circumstances immediately to GU Security (313-2222) or SPD (911).
