See the note below from Jennifer Syvertsen, the chair of Anthro. Incidents like this can happen and her advice in her email is good to remember. Also, if you are interested, there is a mobile app called UCR SAFE that you can choose to install on your phone
that provides a number of safety features.</div>

<div>
<div>Dear all:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wanted to let everyone know that we had an incident in Watkins Hall today in which someone from the community communicated in a loud and volatile manner that became threatening to people's safety. This person was arrested and given a warning not to return
to campus. I wanted to open a line of communication to make everyone aware this happened so that we can all feel safe in our workspace and have transparency. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you are ever in a situation in which you do not feel safe, you may call campus police (951-827-5222 or 911). It is also acceptable to remove yourself from the situation by closing and locking your office door and bringing others into that safe space
with you while the situation is resolved. The anth/soc main office is also always a safe space where you can go. You are always welcome in my office as well. You may try to deescalate the situation, but you are not obligated to do so and it may not work in
all cases. There are also efforts to find other solutions on campus, like safety training and building rapid response networks that we can further discuss as we think more broadly about navigating the political climate in which we're living and other kinds
of situations that may arise. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ultimately, it is important that we keep in communication and do our best to remain vigilant and take care of each other. Thank you to everyone who stepped in today, our community is strong and supportive.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please reach out if you have additional questions and take good care.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In peace,</div>
<div>Jennifer</div>
