Meet and Greet Sessions with College Public Safety/Campus Security Departments
Our taskforce and Campus Security staff are organizing special Meet and Greet Sessions with the Public Safety Departments at each college. These sessions are a great opportunity to get to know the Public Safety team, learn more about their role in keeping our campuses safe, and ask any questions you might have about immigration protocols, security procedures, resources, or safety tips. Whether you’re new to campus or a returning student, this informal gathering will help you connect with the teams that help keep our community secure.
