Meet the new members of our bicycle patrol team! These personnel will be tasked to further enhance our student’s safety and build positive community engagement. Patrol bicycles are a great way for Campus Safety officers to get out from behind the wheel of a car or cart and connect with the Biola community.

A 4.6 magnitude earthquake centered in the area of the San Gabriel Valley city of Rosemead was strongly felt in La Mirada just prior to midnight. Biola Campus Safety personnel just finished checking all dormitories and other structures with everyone and everything checking out good.

In the event of an earthquake, remember to DROP-COVER-HOLD-ON.
