Rave Guardian is a free, personal safety app and service available to Wofford College students, faculty and staff β anyone who has a Wofford College email address. Rave Guardian transforms your smartphone into a personal alarm beacon. In the event of an emergency, critical information you elect to share will be provided to Campus Safety to enable them to reach you quickly. The app also contains helpful phone numbers, emergency plans, a virtual escort device and a chat feature that allows you to send tips and alert Campus Safety.
If you want Campus Safety to respond, select Official Guardian along with any friends or family members you want to ensure you arrive safely.
Anyone can access the generic Rave Guardian app, but only those with a Wofford email address wofford. Note: Non-Wofford contacts you wish to serve as your guardian can do so by downloading and creating a profile in the Rave Guardian app.
Make sure your guardian recognizes and accepts your request to be a guardian each time you set your safety timer. If your guardian does not confirm his or her ability to help at that time, select another guardian, which can be Campus Safety Official Guardian.
You can use the emergency feature that turns your smartphone into a personal panic button that can call Campus Safety. This feature is connected directly to Campus Safety and shares your location with that department. Select the Chat icon on your Rave Guardian home screen. Campus Safety will receive your message, which can include text and photos to send tips or suspicious activity.
