Police Dispatch
We had our first Academic Decathlon event on campus since the pandemic on Saturday. The amazing people at Police Non-Emergency Dispatch and the security team went above and beyond to make sure buildings were open (despite a campus-wide glitch on electronic doors), ensuring that the hundreds of Academic Decathlon students, judges and volunteers had an excellent competition experience on our campus. Thank you so much for all you do.

Provides Excellent Customer Service

Services for Students with Disabilities
From counselors to staff, and student assistants, every person I have ever interacted with at Services for Students with Disabilities is courteous, extremely professional and nice. They do great work for our students but always serve faculty with grace and excellence. Thank you so much for all you do.
