A full-page ad in the Aberdeen American News and updated guidance on booster vaccinations drove higher than anticipated numbers at the Nov. 1 clinic. Student Affairs is grateful to our partner at Avera for this collaboration. These five clinics were part of the Northern Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 COVID-19 Frameworks and involved incentives like $25 Thunder Bucks for students and free food for all participants. Northern adds campus safety measures including lighting, security cameras Northern State University has installed additional lighting and security cameras in an effort aimed at keeping campus safe. Lighting has been added in the Washington Street parking lot, McArthurWelsh parking lot, the campus green and near the Mewaldt-Jensen building. Outdoor cameras have also been installed in the Washington Street parking lot, McArthur-Welsh parking lot and the Kramer Hall entrance. Landscaping work is also being completed to improve safety by trimming trees near the Physical Plant and removing bushes near Steele Hall. This campus safety effort began in spring 2021 with the Student Affairs Strategic Plan, which called for assessing and improving campus security measures. This led to a joint initiative involving Student Affairs, Facilities Management, the Student Government Association, and the Aberdeen Police Department. Together, they toured campus to assess safety needs and determine what projects needed to be completed. Improvements began in summer 2021, with the last project completed in January 2022. In spring 2022, the Security Systems Oversight Committee determined a need for additional review of outdoor security cameras. This review also consisted of adjusting existing cameras and identifying new outdoor cameras. The subcommittee was comprised of representatives from Student Affairs, Facilities Management, Technology Services, and Student Government Association. After conducting their review, five existing outdoor cameras were adjusted for better surveillance and a recommendation of nine new cameras were advanced to the Executive Leadership Team. Consistent with Key Result 154 of the Student Affairs Strategic Plan, the committee proposed a threeyear installation plan: five cameras year one, two cameras year two, and two cameras in year three.
