Devastating crimes on school campuses across the nation such as the Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois shootings as well as recent local acts of school violence, serve as striking reminders for University of La Verne students and faculty to remain vigilant.

Valentine’s Day landing on a Thursday this year signaled that instead of cozying up with your Valentine, you had to cozy up with your professors because it was just another school day around the University of La Verne.

It seems that a week cannot go by without tragic news of another school shooting. Between the country’s deadliest shooting at Virginia Tech last year, and the surprising Valentine’s Day massacre at Northern Illinois University last week, schools across the country are trying to find ways to provide safer, faster notification systems on college campuses.

Author Barbara J. Hall once wrote that “A dreamer is blessed with enough imagination to see what life might hold, enough initiative to go after it, and enough inspiration and insight to succeed,” in her poem “Nothing Can Stop a Dreamer.”

Since the massacre that took 33 lives at Virginia Tech almost three weeks ago, schools across the country are wondering what could have been done to prevent this horrific event.

The Internet is making it easier for anyone – including those with unsavory, or criminal, intentions – to find people and their personal information.
