2026 National Campus Safety Awareness Month Virtual Summit: Investing in Impact

Thursday, September 10, 2026

Proudly sponsored by: RealResponse

Colleges and universities nationwide are reimagining campus safety in the face of increasingly limited resources. This year’s Virtual Summit will focus on one of higher education’s most pressing challenges: how to advance meaningful safety initiatives when budgets are tight. Whether you’re seeking strategies to maximize existing funding or to advocate effectively for increased investment, the Summit will bring together industry experts to discuss practical, sustainable strategies. We’ll explore how to effectively use current allocations, secure long-term support, and embed safety as a core institutional value—aligning practices, mission, and long-term strategic goals to ensure lasting impact.

As with all of our National Campus Safety Awareness Month events and resources, the Summit is completely free. The Summit will be recorded and shared with registrants after the event. Registration is required.

2026 NCSAM Summit Giveaway

Stay with us through the end of the 2026 NCSAM Summit for a chance to win one of two Clery Center Membership giveaways!

Giveaways:

One Clery Center Individual Membership
One 50% discount on a Clery Center Institutional Membership

Who is eligible?:

All individuals who register for the 2026 NCSAM Summit by 5:00 PM ET on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 and who are present during the closing remarks at approximately 4:45 PM ET on September 10, 2026 are eligible to participate. Individuals who register after this deadline may still attend the Virtual Summit but will not be eligible for the giveaway.

Attendance during the giveaway will be verified. If a selected registrant is not present or cannot be verified as attending, another eligible registrant may be selected.

No purchase or donation is necessary to enter or win. A purchase or donation will not improve your chances of winning.

The giveaways may be applied to a new Clery Center Membership or, for an existing Member, used toward the renewal of an eligible Membership. For current Institutional Members who already receive a discounted Membership rate, the 50% discount will be applied to their current discounted Membership price, not the standard Institutional Membership rate. Giveaways have no cash value and may not be transferred or exchanged for cash.

Giveaway winners will be selected live and at random from eligible registrants. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible registrants.

The giveaway is open to eligible individuals age 18 or older employed by an institution of higher education. Employees, board members, and immediate family or household members of Clery Center employees and board members are not eligible to win. Void where prohibited by law.

By participating in the giveaway, entrants agree to these terms and to the decisions of Clery Center, which are final and binding with respect to the giveaway.
