I
am proud to share the promotion of long-time safety and security
officer Victor Dorsey as Director of Security, effective immediately.
Victor has served as acting director since the retirement of Jerry
Mance last month. He has been an important part of our talented security
staff for over 12 years, first serving as a sergeant, then as a
lieutenant before progressing to director.
A safe, secure
environment is essential to learning and to the peace of mind of our
students, their parents, and our faculty and staff. Virginia Wesleyan’s
Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, included as part of our Safe and Secure brochure,
contains information about campus security, statements about
security-related campus policies, and statistical data for campus crime
reports. Information on emergency response, evacuation procedures, and
fire safety are also included.
Safe and Secure brochures are
available at various offices and locations throughout campus, including
Campus Security, the Athletics Suite, the Batten Student Center Hub, the
Blocker Hall vending area, the Office of Finance and Administration,
The Lighthouse, Hofheimer Library, Residence Life, and the Office of
Student Affairs. Please familiarize yourself with this information.
Although the University takes every precaution to ensure the safety of
its students, faculty and staff, we still ask our campus community to do
your part in exercising caution on campus and off.
We are
fortunate to have a strong security presence at Virginia Wesleyan
University, and we thank Victor Dorsey and all of our safety officers
for their commitment to keeping our campus safe.
