Today, UNC Asheville Police joins our campus community and our nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We honor the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless individuals whose lives were forever changed by the events of that day.

We also remember the courage, sacrifice, and unity shown in the days that followed.

To the firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency medical personnel, military members, dispatchers, and everyday citizens who answered the call to help—we honor your service and sacrifice.

May we never forget those we lost. May we always remember those who served.

Never Forget. 9.11.2001

🚫 PLEASE DON’T BLOCK THE DUMPSTERS! 🚫

As everyone gets settled back on campus, UNC Asheville Police would like to remind our campus community to park only in designated parking areas and never block dumpsters or access areas.

🗑️ Why does it matter?
Dumpsters must remain accessible so sanitation vehicles can safely enter, empty them, and exit. Vehicles parked in front of or too close to dumpsters can prevent scheduled service and create unnecessary safety and sanitation issues.

🚗 Please remember:

Park only in designated spaces.
Keep dumpster areas and access lanes completely clear.
Do not park “just for a minute” in front of a dumpster.
Be mindful of service vehicles that need extra room to maneuver.

⚠️ Vehicles blocking dumpsters or other restricted access areas may be subject to enforcement or towing.

A little consideration goes a long way in keeping our campus clean, safe, and accessible for everyone.

Thank you for helping us keep UNC Asheville moving! 💙🐾
