Wolfson Campus posted similar notifications on two bulletin boards; one in its student life department and the other in the 3000 building. The alert in the student life department is surrounded by at least 20 other notes ranging from job postings to room for rent notices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, the College has issued alerts via cell phone texts, emails and audio recorded phone calls to warn students about bomb threats and hurricanes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI will say that simply posting a paper poster in a couple places on campus would not constitute a sufficient warning in the age of smartphones and electronic communication,\u201d said Mike Hiestand, a legal consultant for the Student Press Law Center. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Oct. 21 incident happened at around 12:35 p.m. in a cement seating area sandwiched between the bookstore and the pool. The man approached a 15-year-old student who was waiting to be picked up by her mom. According to a public safety report, he told the girl that \u201cshe was beautiful\u201d before forcibly hugging her multiple times and kissing her on the forehead. He unsuccessfully tried to lure the girl to a more secluded area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five days later, the man approached another student who was sitting in a seating area between the 6000 and 8000 buildings at 9:45 a.m. The man kissed the girl\u2019s hand, grabbed her shoulders and asked for her phone number. She gave him her Snapchat username, which he accepted before leaving, according Miami-Dade Police detective Argemis Colome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Wolfson Campus incident occurred on Oct. 10 in a practice room on the fourth floor of the 3000 building. A man, who was wearing blue jeans, a red shirt and a Florida International University hat, started a conversation with a student before pulling her toward him and forcibly kissing her, according to the timely warning flier posted in student life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the student tried to leave, the subject blocked her path and kissed her again. She fled the area after another person entered the room. The incident was reported 20 days later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you feel any situation getting weird or uncomfortable you can call 911 or go to a more populated area,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colome<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public safety officials said they can escort students, staff or faculty to their vehicle if they feel unsafe.
