Campus Safety

At PBC, our student and staff safety and well-being are among our top priorities because we value each one. The Campus Safety page provides information to ensure you have a safe and enriching experience on campus.

We are committed to fostering a campus experience that embodies our core values of integrity, discipline, authenticity, community, respect, and servanthood. Our campus safety is a key expression of these values.

Grace Report Update

In November 2023, we began working with a third-party investigative company, GRACE, to uncover some sexual misconduct that had been occurring in the PBC dorms before 2023. We recently received their report. We take their findings seriously and are currently processing the report with our elders, staff, and students as we prioritize our support for victims and implement GRACE’s recommendations. We are fully committed to complete transparency in a timely manner.

PBC Safety Reporting Form

At PBC, the safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities because we value each one.

You can complete it anonymously if you choose, but it will greatly help our efforts to support you and resolve the problem if we are able to follow up with you.
