Short answer
Near MSUM in Moorhead, Help Me is a place to ask for small favors: directions to a building, a phone charger, a jump start in a lot. Meet at the student union or another busy public place. Official MSUM events from Campus Labs appear in the app with the source attached. MSUM Public Safety is the official campus number.
The facts, in one place
- MSUM is in Moorhead, Clay County, Minnesota.
- Official events come from Campus Labs and link back to it.
- MSUM Public Safety and 911 handle campus emergencies.
- Help Me is not an emergency service.
A Moorhead campus, not a Fargo annex
MSUM is in Moorhead, Clay County, Minnesota. People cross into Fargo for work and food, and Fargo residents cross back for class. Help Me covers the whole metro, but official numbers do not copy across the river. Emergencies here are 911 and MSUM Public Safety, not Fargo Police and not NDSU Police.
Everyday asks look like campus life anywhere: directions to a building, tech help with a laptop, a study partner, a phone charger. Meet at the student union or another populated indoor place. Your request shows as a rough area about 500 meters wide.
Campus Labs events, linked
Official MSUM events come from Campus Labs at mnstate.campuslabs.com/engage/events. Help Me labels the source and keeps the official link. Open it for the last word. Concordia's calendar sits beside it in the app, because a Saturday in this metro ignores the campus line.
- Directions to the right building.
- A phone charger in the library or the union.
- A jump start in a busy lot, in daylight.
- Two more hands for something heavy.
Public Safety is official. We are not.
MSUM Public Safety runs official campus safety programs. Use them when you want an official response, and use Help Me when you want a neighbor. Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. Helpers are not employees of the university.
Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number. You can report or block any member at any time.
Questions people actually ask

Yes. Official listings come from mnstate.campuslabs.com/engage/events and stay attributed to that source.
No. Matching is local to helpers nearby who are online, not campus-only. Two campuses a few blocks apart still share a city.
