UW-Madison Tour Guides Address Safety

MADISON, Wis. — As concerned parents of prospective University of Wisconsin-Madison raise questions following a student’s slaying, the university’s Admissions Office said it takes a very proactive approach to talking about safety.

Tour guides are trained to talk about the school’s various safety measures, such as the SAFEwalk and SAFEride programs offered on campus.

WISC-TV joined a group of high school students and their parents on a campus tour Thursday. Most parents said that while they hope the recent homicide investigation is an isolated incident, safety is always a primary concern for them.
