Dear Campus Community,
Welcome back to campus as we kick off another exciting semester! I hope you’re feeling refreshed and ready for all of the opportunities ahead.
As we transition into this new term, I want to remind everyone to stay safe, especially with the challenging weather conditions we’re currently experiencing. Whether you’re traveling by car or walking across campus, please take extra care. The evenings are also still dark, so ensure you’re visible by wearing reflective gear or carrying a light source when outdoors.
If you notice anything unusual or concerning, don’t hesitate to report it to the department by contacting us at 207 780 5211. Your vigilance helps keep our community safe. If it is an emergency situation, please call 911, and they will dispatch the appropriate resource to help, i.e., police, including USM PD, fire, or EMTs.
I also encourage you to take some time to explore all that our department has to offer by visiting our website. From safety resources to support services, we’re here to ensure a positive and secure experience for everyone.
Let’s make this semester a great one! Welcome back, Huskies—together, we’ve got this!
Sincerely,
Gráinne Perkins, PhD.
Chief of Police
Vice President of Public Safety
