Dear Campus Community,
As we approach the election season, we understand that many of you may be feeling a heightened sense of anxiety and concern about potential safety issues. Please know that your safety and well-being are our top priorities, and we have been actively preparing to ensure that our campus remains a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
Over the past weeks, we have been working at both operational and administrative levels to enhance safety across all areas of our campus. This preparation has included conducting tabletop exercises in close collaboration with our local police and safety partners to review and refine our response plans. Additionally, we’ve engaged in valuable discussions with other universities to explore a range of support options to address any unique needs that may arise within our community during this period.
We want you to feel confident and supported during this time. If you have any concerns or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our team is here to provide any support you may need.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and commitment to fostering a safe, respectful environment for all.
Take care and stay safe,
Sincerely,
Gráinne Perkins, PhD.
Chief of Police
Vice President of Public Safety
