Find three historic, local dates related to your beat

 I found three historic and local dates related to my beat the first one is from November 2021 when a Morehouse was shot and killed inside a home just a month away from his graduation. The second one is from 2015 when the AUC added 40 new surveillance cameras to its four campus. The third one is from August of 2019 where there was a shooting that occurred right outside the library.

 1.Clark Atlanta University Collegiate Chapter of National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (CAUNoble) Media Contact: @caunoble on Instagram 2. Think Safe Ambassadors  Media Contact: @cau_thinksafeambassadors on Instagram 3.  Law Enforcement Executives & Administrators (HBCU LEEA) Media Contact: @hbculeea on Instagram  The story idea that I have that could use theses three orgs is "Building a safer AUC: how students, police leaders and national HBCU orgs are changing and shaping the future of campus safety"

Go to a place relevant (virtual or in- person) to your beat (List what you hear and see, plus one story idea. Blog about it on your beat blog).

I went to one of the public safety booth and as I was there I noticed many things. A lot of students walk passed theses booth with not a slight care in the world or when they see a public safety officer they say something about them then walk off. It is not until our public safety officers start asking to see peoples school id cards to make sure they are students when a lot of people start to complain how they should know them by now when in reality they officers are just trying to make sure everyone is safe so no outsiders get behind the gates and potentially harm someone. A possible story idea could be why do students feel like it is not necessary to show their paw cards when asked to by public safety.

Interview a student outside your major for their perspective on your beat. Blog about it.

I interviewed Sophomore student Corionna Sindad a Psychology major. She had an interesting perspective on the beat talking about how public safety should get more recognition because a lot of the time they are the first responders to some of these dangerous events that happen or could happen on campus before the police get there and a lot of people still talk bad about them. She had a lot to say about public safety and what she sees on campus. This perspective gave me a lot of different story ideas for my beat.
