University Police would like to inform you that two bear sightings on campus have been reported during the early morning hours of September 12, 2007. The last report was that a bear was seen near the Texaco gasoline station on Virginia at approximately 6:40 AM.

If you see one of these animals, please DO NOT APPROACH THE BEARS. CALL 911. Other safety tips include:

- Don't try to get a "closer look";

- Do not corner one of these bears;

- If there are 2 or more of you, stand close together to appear more imposing;

- Make loud noises, such as shouting;

- Try to avoid eye contact, as some bears find this threatening behavior;

- Don't turn your back or run.

Remember - if you see one of these animals, please DO NOT APPROACH THEM. CALL 911.
