Hickman said the university is also encouraging students and faculty to download a new app called Rave Guardian, which will bolster the current Carolina Alert system. “It basically turns your phone into a portable call box,” Hickman said. “It has a couple of different functions. One will automatically connect you with USC police dispatch if you feel uncomfortable or in harm’s way.” Hickman said there is also a “safety timer,” which broadens the safety coverage for students and faculty. “If I am walking from my office to the garage, I can set the time for 10 minutes. If I don’t turn that off by the time I get there, it will notify all of the people that I have listed as my contacts,” Hickman said. One of those emergency contacts will automatically be USC police once a user downloads the app and registers their university email with it, according to Hickman.
