The RAVE app offers the opportunity to always have someone to walk with, virtually day or night with the Safety Timer. You add WSU police, friends or family as your guardians. Set the timer when you are going from one place to another. When you get there you turn it off. If you don't the app sends a notification to those you selected and they know to check on you. When would you use this? Walking to your car at night, meeting someone new from social media, going somewhere unfamiliar, walking back to the dorm after a late class or event? It does not track you 24/7. Location is only one when you choose. Turn on location services for the most accurate help if you do happen to need it. Add University Police as a guardian for an extra layer of security on campus. Questions? Call 316-978-3450.
AI searches are expensive. Automatically generating AI search results that you won't use is wasteful. Adding "-ai" to the end of your search query will turn off the AI generated results. Message brought to you by the WSU AI Ethics and Responsible Use team, Responsible AI@ICT.
University Police can help with all sorts of things including: a ride to the nearest gas station to get fuel, instructions on how to change a tire, jumpstarts for dead batteries, walking alone at night and need a safety escort? They do that and more. Save 316-978-3450 in your Phone under WSU Police. This is available for all students, staff/faculty or visitors.
AI can help with tasks, but it isn't a friend. Chatbots are not a substitute for real friends and support is available when you need it. Visit wichita.edu/ProjectConnect, wichita.edu/StudentSuccess, or Wichita.edu/rAI to start connecting. Message brought to you by the WSU AI Ethics and Responsible Use team, Responsible AI@ICT.
