"It portrays the deepest values of our community" Participants aimed to improve town-gown relations by welcoming both student and permanent residqnts to the community and offering them messages about personal safety. Student leaders Imocked on doors and encouraged fel low students to meet their neighbors and look through canvas bags they handed out for safety advice and resources that they may not have been aware of.
