Keeping our @UTChattanooga Mocs safe on campus is our first priority. Today’s tour of campus with the @UTCPD and Chancellor Lori Mann Bruce gives me confidence we are doing all we can for our students. Appreciate everyone who works to keep our campus community safe — including Cpl. Aaron Bayer and Sgt. Sophie, the department’s new therapy K-9 and campus celebrity!

She told them to be brave, not worry about making mistakes, take chances, stay curious, read, and be a helper.

Such wonderful messages for those students, and we hope our own students heed this message as well. 💙💛
