History

Under the direction of President Kim B. Clark the BYU-Idaho Student Safety Council was formed by Dean Kevin Miyasaki during summer semester 2007. It consisted of two members at the time who worked with a public relations campaign group taught by Mike Cannon.

At the conclusion of the semester both members on the council did not return and it was made known to Dean Miyasaki that Ryan Littleford, a senior and student, from the campaign group would be interested in helping.

Fall semester 2007 the safety council was formed with Littleford serving as managing director along with eight other members :Dani Sims, Jason Knight, Kelsey Facer, Sara Peterson, Chad Jackman, Mandy Laubaugh, Nataley
Inglima, and Diane Miller .

Together with an organizational group from i-Comm the council became more structured and began creating strategies to increase safety awareness.

The BYU-Idaho Student Safety Council serves as a student-run university organization whose leadership positions offer scholarship and practicum opportunities for those students willing to volunteer and wishing to
build a solid resume.
