THE FRANKLIN PIERCE COMMUNITY

The Franklin Pierce University community is dedicated to the free and open examination and exchange of ideas in the pursuit of knowledge. This requires mutual trust among its members and a common respect for the rights, dignity, and integrity of each person. This ambition is embraced in the University's Student Code of Conduct and the Honor Code.

Franklin Pierce University is located in the Town of Rindge, a quiet rural community. Because of our rural environment, we are not subject to all of the problems of a city campus; however, we are also not insulated from crime. We urge all community members to be vigilant and take proactive steps to prevent crime, while also fostering a culture of mutual support. We encourage students, faculty, and staff to actively engage with Campus Safety, utilize mental health and wellness resources, and participate in crime prevention programs and community-building activities.

The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff, and guests is a priority at Franklin Pierce University, and the Campus Safety Department provides a variety of programs and services aimed at achieving this. Campus Safety operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is responsible for the protection of life and property, responding to calls for assistance, facilitating the safe movement of people and vehicles around campus, and ensuring emergency access for vehicles. We also offer crime prevention programs, self-defense workshops, and community engagement initiatives to strengthen the safety and security of the entire campus. While no program can eliminate all risk, we continuously evaluate and adapt our safety protocols to best serve the community.

Franklin Pierce University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, national or ethnic origin, or any other status protected by law. The University is an equal opportunity employer and encourages individuals from diverse backgrounds, including minorities, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals, to apply for employment and to engage in all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded to its students.
