🧡 What a great day!

SU DPS had a fantastic time at today's Off Campus Student Welcome, connecting with students who live off campus and sharing safety tips, resources, and information about how to reach us.

Living off campus comes with its own set of safety considerations — and we want every student to know that SU DPS is here for you, on or off campus. Reach us 24/7 at 315-443-2224 or through the Orange Safe App. 📱
