Carry Harrison’s Legacy 🧡🌳 Near Speedway and 21st, across from Jester, a memorial tree blooms each spring for Harrison Brown.
After Harrison’s death, his mom Lori found a note in his backpack with a list of dreams he had written down:
• Make music
• Move to L.A.
• Work in film
• Produce music
• Find a cure for ALS
• Be happy
Just weeks after losing Harrison, his father also passed away following a battle with ALS, making that line especially heartbreaking for those who loved him.
Reading the list feels like reading the thoughts of any 19-year-old figuring out life. Dreams about music, creativity, purpose, happiness, and a future he was excited to reach.
Harrison should have had the chance to grow into those dreams.
Today, we remember not only what was taken from him, but who he was becoming. And we honor him by looking out for each other, paying attention when something feels wrong, and choosing to act instead of staying silent. Horns up for Harry!🤘🧡

We remember Harrison today and everyday ❤️🩹
Our co-founders were all students when this happened, and it’s a huge reason why we’re still working to create a safer tomorrow.
Grateful for our friends at @safehorns who share our mission and continue to make the UT community safer for our fellow longhorns.
#Report4Harrison ☎️🧡
On May 1, 2017, Harrison Brown was stabbed on campus and had to ask someone else to call 911 because no one had made the call yet. That moment became part of the reason his family and SafeHorns started #Report4Harrison.
Recognize. Respond. Report.
Trust your gut if something feels off. Pay attention to your surroundings. Speak up if you see someone in distress or behavior that seems dangerous. Don’t freeze or assume someone else has already called for help. Whether it’s police, EMS, fire, or a mental health crisis, make the call.
Campus safety is not just about emergency situations. It’s about noticing when something is wrong and taking action before things escalate. Looking out for each other matters.

Let’s be the reason someone gets help faster. 🤘

Remembering Harrison Brown 🧡
Nine years ago today, UT freshman Harrison Brown started his morning at Gregory Gym and called his mom like he always did, to say “I love you” before heading to class. He never made it there.
Harrison was killed in the 2017 campus stabbing attack outside Gregory Gym that also injured three other students.
People who knew Harrison remember his kindness first. He loved music, film, sports, his friends, and being a Longhorn. Back home in Graham, Texas he was voted “Best All-Around Boy.” At UT, he once wrote, “I’m in love with this campus and the people.”
In 2025, Kendrex White, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the attack, was released from a state mental health hospital into outpatient care. The decision was deeply painful for Harrison’s family and many in the UT community.
Today we remember Harrison for who he was and the life he should still be living. Horns up for Harry!🤘🧡

Remembering Haruka today and always 🤍
As fellow longhorns, we carry her with us each and every day.
Grateful for the UT community and organizations like @safehorns working to create a safer tomorrow on college campuses.
Today marks ten years since Haruka Weiser was taken from this campus. Her family asked for something simple. Walk with each other. Look out for one another. Choose care.
They also asked for small acts of kindness. Check in on a friend. Walk alongside someone who needs it. Even a small moment can mean more than you think.
Ten years later, that message is still protecting students.
SafeHorns was started because of Haruka. Ten years later, the work continues. Safer paths, more awareness, and a stronger community only happen when people stay engaged and look out for each other.
If you are heading home tonight, do not brush it off. Walk with someone. Call someone. Wait for each other.
If you’re heading out today, take a moment to plan your walk. In honor of Haruka, share your #WalkWithMe video and tag us so we can share.

“We all have a responsibility to look out for one another.”
That can look like a lot of things. Walking a friend home. Waiting until they get inside. Texting to check they made it back safely.
Haruka’s family shared something simple after her passing. You do not always need the right words. Sometimes you just walk alongside someone.
It is not about fear. It is about care.
A safer campus is not just built with lights and patrols. It is built by people who choose to show up for each other.

Haruka didn’t just love to dance. She worked for it. Her dad said she always pushed herself to give her best effort.
In her passing, she was given a name that means “Bright Faith.” A light that continues forward.🕯️
Her family shared that her light still reminds us of the goodness in people, even in the hardest moments.
Walking with her memory means more than remembering. It means showing up in your own life. It means choosing to care, to try, to be present for the people around you.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. It is a time to come together as a community to promote awareness, consent, and care for one another. Haruka’s story is part of why this matters. It is a reminder that looking out for each other, staying connected, and taking small steps to protect one another can make a difference.
If you’re heading out today, take a moment to plan your walk. Then take it one step further. Walk with someone and share it.

“Walking with someone…would have been the most visible and safe deterrent.” Those are the words Haruka’s father shared after her death. His message was simple. Walk together.
It sounds small, but it matters. Most of the time, nothing happens. But when it does, being with someone can change everything.
This is how we look out for each other. This is how culture shifts.
