UMD ALERT: Update in Police Activity

October 24, 2023

We have concluded our on-site investigation, and the scene has now been cleared. All roadways have reopened. The University of Maryland recognizes that this incident can be distressing for many members of our community. The university remains committed to doing all we can to care for our community. To immediately address the concerns and needs of our students, the Counseling Center has deployed staff to nearby Yahentamitsi Dining Hall. For students seeking emotional support, the Counseling Center is prioritizing availability by canceling non-emergency appointments to make staff accessible for crisis intervention. Faculty and staff can access support services offered by the Faculty and Staff Assistance Unit at the University Health Center.
