🚑 RCMERT: An Essential Part of Campus Safety! 💙💛

Yesterday, our River Campus Medical Emergency Response Team (RCMERT) stood by during the University Health Service’s on-campus flu shot clinic, helping ensure medical support was available for the campus community.

RCMERT works alongside our Department of Public Safety officers when responding to medical emergencies on campus. Their training, teamwork, and dedication make them a valuable asset to our team and an important part of keeping our campus community safe!

A big thank you to the RCMERT members for their continued service and commitment to the University of Rochester! 👏

Bright and early on September 10, University of Rochester Department of Public Safety Officers joined the NROTC for their annual 9/11 Memorial Run.

We were honored to take part in this meaningful event as we remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and recognize the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, service members, and countless others who answered the call that day.

Thank you to the Rochester Naval ROTC for inviting DPS to be part of this important remembrance. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
