Living safely within a community is everyone’s responsibility, and as Panthers, we all want FIU to be the safest community it can be, but we can’t purely rely on the Florida International University Police Department or staff to keep us safe.
This editorial was originally written on behalf of the PantherNOW e-board and was featured in PantherNOW. The editorial focuses on the increase of student activism and why it is beneficial to one's college career.

Living safely within a community is everyone’s responsibility, and as Panthers, we all want FIU to be the safest community it can be, but we can’t purely rely on the Florida International University Police Department or staff to keep us safe. We as Panthers hold the responsibility of keeping each other safe as well.
Being on a college campus is fun, but it’s easy to gain a false sense of security and feeling of safety when surrounded by your peers. After all, they’re just regular students like you, right? Wrong.
It’s important to remember that you don’t always know who you can trust, even when you’re in the college campus bubble.
