Arts & Crafts Supply SWAP, July 13 through July 16 in PUB 015

Do you have extra arts and crafts supplies collecting dust? Bring your unused or gently used crafting materials to the Veterans Center of Excellence (VCOE) and either donate them or swap them for something new-to-you!

Whether it's yarn, paint supplies, beads, fabric, scrapbooking materials, project kits or other crafting items, we'd love to help connect those supplies with someone who can use them. If the item is still in usable condition but no longer fits your interests, consider bringing it in to share with the community.

Any supplies remaining after the swap will be evaluated for use in future VCOE crafting activities or donated to veterans in need within our community.

Reminder About Bike and E-Bike Theft Prevention

Clark College Security has recently seen an increase in bicycle thefts on campus, particularly involving e-bikes. Recent thefts have included bikes secured to outdoor bike racks, including some with locking systems attached. We wanted to share a few reminders to help reduce the likelihood of theft and encourage everyone to plan accordingly when bringing bicycles to campus.

To help reduce the risk of theft:

• Use a high-quality U-lock or heavy-duty chain lock whenever possible. While no lock can completely prevent theft, stronger locking systems can make bikes more difficult to target.
• Secure both the frame and wheel to a fixed bike rack or secure structure.
• Avoid leaving bikes unattended for extended periods of time, especially overnight.
• Remove easily detachable accessories such as lights, bags, batteries, or displays when possible.
• Consider recording your bike's serial number and taking photos for identification purposes.
• If your e-bike battery is removable, take it with you while on campus when practical.

Please remember that even busy or well-traveled areas can still be targeted for theft. Taking a few extra precautions can help reduce risk.

If you witness suspicious behavior around bike racks or campus property, contact Security immediately at 360-992-2133. Call 911 if you observe a crime in progress or there is an immediate threat to safety. Thank you for helping keep our campus community safe.

Reminder: Animals on Campus

Clark College does not allow animals in campus buildings unless they are service animals, (Policy 510.058 Animals on Campus).

What counts as a service animal? Under the ADA and Washington State law a service animal is a dog that is individually trained to perform a specific task related to a disability. Check out this website for more information: ADA Requirements: Service Animals.

Protect Yourself from Phishing Scams

Always verify the legitimacy of requests for personal information, even if they seem to come from Clark College. If you receive an email, text, or call asking for sensitive details:

• Pause before responding.
• Contact the Clark College Helpdesk at (360) 992-2425 or helpdesk@clark.edu to confirm the request.

Scammers may pose as Clark College or state employees to steal your personal information. Stay vigilant and protect yourself from fraud. Stay safe—think before you share!
