The safety of our community remains our top priority. We encourage you to keep the following safety information in mind.
We've seen increased discussion on social media regarding student deaths reported at another SEC institution.
While kratom, fentanyl and cychlorphine have been the subject of social media discussion, @UKPolice has not encountered any recent cases involving these substances among members of our student community.
