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.
