DPS unveils new look for non-sworn officers
Members of the University community will notice a new, less formal look to non-sworn Department of Public Safety officers. Rather than traditional police-style uniforms, these officers are wearing easily recognizable grey polo shirts and pants. DPS Chief Quchee Collins views the change as an opportunity to enhance campus safety through a collaborative approach. The department will leverage the strengths of both sworn and unsworn officers, combining community policing initiatives with essential security functions to create a safer University environment.
Adam Frank, the Helen F. and Fred H. Gowen Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, explains the gravitational capture event involving the tiny asteroid 2024 PT5.
University Health Service (UHS) will host a flu vaccine clinic for students on Thursday, October 17, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Goergen Athletic Center, River Campus, and on Friday, October 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Eastman School of Music. Details will follow on how to schedule appointments.
The flu vaccine is covered in full for all active members of the University’s student health insurance plan (Aetna) and generally covered in full by most private insurance plans. Contact your insurance plan directly for specific coverage details. Flu vaccines offer the best and safest way to prevent the spread of the illness and getting vaccinated does not cause the flu.
Getting a flu vaccine is one way that you can protect your health and that of the University community in the coming months. UHS also shares other ways to prevent illness: wash your hands regularly; avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth; and cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
