  • Annual Security Report
    ANNUAL SECURITY REPO RT ANNUAL FIRE SAFETY R EPORT "YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW" http://www.jmu.edu/pubsafety/righttoknow.shtml SAFETY AT JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY’S SEMESTER IN ANTWERP In Compliance with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998 (formerly the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990) October 1, 2011 Annual Security Report Safety on the JMU Antwerp campus, Antwerp Hall/Montpelier Hall, is a natural source of concern for parents, students and employees. Education - the business of James Madison University – can only take place in an environment in which each student employee and visitor feels safe and secure. JMU recognizes this and employs a number of security measures to protect the members of its community. Crime prevention remains a high priority among residents. JMU does its part to help ensure the safety of its students, employees and visitors. The Program Director, the Faculty Member in Residence (FMIR), the Program Assistant (PA), Resident Manager (RM) and the students themselves all share in the responsibility of making the Antwerp campus, specifically our residential hostel, Montpelier Hall, a safe place to study, work and live. Antwerp Population The inner city of Antwerp has approximately half a million inhabitants. About a million people live in greater Antwerp. The Language The province of Antwerp is part of Flanders, and the official language of Flanders is Dutch. Since residents of Flanders speak Dutch with a different accent than residents of the Netherlands, they call their dialect of the Dutch language ―Flemish.‖ The Flemish and the Dutch have no trouble understanding each other.

    UCB S.A. 60 Allée de la Recherche, B-1070 Brussels (Belgium) Press Release Brussels, 3 December 2004 H.R.H. PRINCE PHILIPPE OF BELGIUM VISITS THE UCB SITE IN BRAINE- L’ALLEUD TOGETHER WITH THE WALLOON AUTHORITIES During his visit at the UCB site in Braine-l’Alleud on Friday 3 December 2004, H.R.H. Prince Philippe of Belgium presided over a round-table discussion on the topic of "pharmaceutical research: safeguarding the future”. The participants were: Jean-Claude Van Cauwenberghe, Minister-President of the Walloon Region, Jean-Claude Marcourt, Walloon Minister for the Economy and the Employment, Marie-Dominique Simonet, Walloon Minister for Scientific Research and New Technology, Jean-Louis Vanherweghem, President of the Board of ULB, Marcel Crochet, former Rector of UCL, Kurt Vandenberghe, European Commission, Thierry Appelboom, Professor, rheumatologist at Erasmus Hospital, Jean Stephenne, President and General Manager of GSK Biologicals, Roch Doliveux, Director-General of UCB Pharma, and Georges Jacobs, Chairman of the Executive Committee of UCB. The discussion brought to the fore the conditions needed to guarantee the future of the pharmaceutical industry in Belgium and in particular Wallonia. Wallonia must develop a highly qualified workforce in this sector, which provides considerable added value as a clean, environmentally friendly industry that uses few raw materials and is likely to generate exports. At the round-table discussion, the leaders of industry stressed the need for a climate that promotes a spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation and that meets training requirements so as to attract the sectors of research and production to the Walloon region.
