The annual University of Utah Walk After Dark event brings together members of the campus community and organizations such as Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), Facilities Management, Public Safety and others to conduct a survey of lighting levels and other safety related issues across campus. During the event, cross functional teams composed of individuals from various organizations walk every sidewalk on campus to survey lighting levels and look for safety issues related to travel across campus at night.

This year’s event will be held on Tuesday, October 21st, 2025 beginning at 7:00 pm. The event usually lasts less than two hours. We invite individuals who would like to participate to register by completing the registration form on the EHS webpage.

This year, as part of your registration you will be able to select a preferred section of campus you would like to walk. We will try to accommodate as many of these requests as possible without leaving any one area of campus short on volunteers. As the event draws closer, an email containing the details and participation instructions will be sent to all registered participants. Please consider joining us for this important event and share with your teams and departments.
