Yesterday, our FYE students participated in a campus scavenger hunt to learn more about campus and the resources available to them!

One of their stops was University Police, where they were tasked with getting a picture with an officer. Chief Henry was happy to make himself available and spend a little time connecting with our students.

We’re always happy to see our students stopping by and getting to know the officers who are here to support them! ❤️🐏
