| RANDY PHILLIPS | Angela Jarvis |
| | Officer Phillips embodies the true essence of a dedicated police officer who goes above and beyond in serving our campus community. He stands out as a shining example of what it means to be a police officer on our campus. Not only is he a familiar face behind the wheel of his car but he goes the extra mile by actively patrolling our campus on foot making him visible and accessible. He readily offers help, shows genuine concern for the well-being of our students and congratulates our most recent graduates with a fist bump. The simplest yet meaningful gesture of offering a fist bump creates a sense of trust and camaraderie that resonates with our community.
Officer Phillips is a shinning example of the type of police officer our campus needs more of -- those who actively engage with students, faculty and staff beyond the confines of their vehicles as his approachability and dedication make him an invaluable asset to our institution while also making our campus feel safer. |

I know you were a huge part of the wonderful success of Pillars last week.

It was an incredibly smooth night, and after DAA, it felt much more organized to me! You went above and beyond, representing the UofM with dedication and excellence. Thanks for all you do, and thank you for doing it whether or not anyone said "thank you" along the way.
Appreciating you for all you do!
Sincerely,
Hannah |
