Mountain Lion Alert

February 21, 2016 - ALERT: Mountain Lion Spotted Near Campus - A mountain lion was spotted near campus by the Social and Behavioral Science Building this weekend. University Police have notified the California Department of Fish and Game.

Please use extra caution when walking on campus at night or in the early morning hours. Do not walk alone. If you see the mountain lion, contact University Police immediately. For the fastest possible police response, program 760-750-4567 into your cell phones. Do not approach the animal. If you are confronted by the mountain lion, DO NOT RUN, as this will stimulate the mountain lions instinct to chase. Make yourself appear as large as possible, keep intense eye contact, wave your arms, and make noise.
