Communication October 31, 2024

Dear Â鶹ÊÓƵ Community,

Early Wednesday morning, our Â鶹ÊÓƵ sign on Ward Circle was vandalized. Â鶹ÊÓƵPD immediately launched an investigation, and our facilities team began cleaning the sign. By 8:45 a.m., the sign was restored (see before and after images below). By early afternoon, Â鶹ÊÓƵPD identified a suspect and by 5:00 p.m., a graduate student was arrested. The student will be charged under DC law with destruction of property and subject to university conduct actions as outlined in the student conduct code.

I want to thank Â鶹ÊÓƵPD and the facilities team for their swift and effective response to this matter. Every day, they are dedicated to our safety and well-being.

We are grateful that this matter was resolved, and it is important for all of us to remain vigilant, exercise good safety awareness, and utilize Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s safety resources.
