Dear Campus Community, With classes back in session, this is an ideal time to remind everyone of the safety resources that are available and to update you on how we are working to keep our campus safe.

Earlier today, officers from the University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) and the Prince George’s County Police Department responded to the 8800 block of 36th Avenue for an off-campus robbery. It was reported that a suspects came onto campus near the Chesapeake Building. Officers searched the area for the suspect, but were unable to locate the suspect. UMPD officers have since cleared the scene but continue to maintain a presence on campus. The Prince George’s County Police Department continues to investigate this incident.

Dear Campus Community, Yesterday’s horrific incident in Parkland, Florida is a sobering reminder that such incidents continue to happen and often lead to more questions than answers. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School community.
