Communication October 31, 2024

Dear ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Community,

Early Wednesday morning, our ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ sign on Ward Circle was vandalized. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳PD 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, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳PD 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 ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳PD 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 ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳’s safety resources.
