Muhlenberg College has installed several emergency and campus phones in and around the campus. Also, located in some of the academic buildings around campus are a few “courtesy phones” for use to call on campus. Emergency Phones will give you direct contact with the Campus Safety Office. The phones are bright yellow with a blue colored light above them and have an “emergency button” or “help” that will dial Campus Safety when it is pushed.
