Dear Campus Community,
As we wrap up another academic year, I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all those in our community who graduated—what an incredible achievement. Whether you were walking the stage yourself or supporting a loved one, I hope you took a moment to recognize the hard work and dedication that brought you to this point.
To our summer students and those continuing their studies, we’re excited to see your commitment carry on through the warmer months. Please know that your safety and success remain a priority for us.
As a department, we look forward to supporting the university’s many summer programs, events, and projects.
Looking ahead, we’re also excited to begin incorporating the University’s new strategic vision—People, Purpose, Place—into all that we do. This guiding framework aligns closely with our mission as a department, and we look forward to bringing it to life through our daily interactions, community partnerships, and commitment to service.
Whether you’re on campus, traveling, or enjoying some well-earned downtime — please stay safe, look out for one another, and don’t hesitate to reach out if we can be of assistance.
Thank you for all you do to make this community what it is.
Sincerely,
Gráinne Perkins, PhD.
Chief of Police
Vice President of Public Safety
