Campus Fire Safety

Molloy College is committed to maintaining a comprehensive fire safety program for all members of the Molloy community. In order for the fire safety programs to be effective we must receive total community-wide support. We expect cooperation from all community members during fire drills - announced and unannounced - and adherence to the fire and safety rules of Molloy College.
