Make Sure You re Locking the Parkway Door Coworkers, I know that most everyone uses Parkway whether that be for classes or you are passing through, please the back sliding door at Parkway continues to be left unlocked several times during the last few weeks, and the EVS staff have secured the door before leaving the area. In fact they have been double checking because of this very issue. I have spoken to BHC and they are locking up as they leave, and have on several occasions found a door unlocked they had just previously locked before leaving for the day. If you unlock a door please before you leave the area lock up it only takes a few minute of your time. Thanks, Retha Evans, Communications, Security Manager
