Thinking of my alma mater today. The campus police have been a part of the MIT community, and have been first responders so many times, for incidents ranging from someone having a little too much to drink, to serious injuries on the athletic fields, to routine parking tickets (never gotten one). There is no fence between MIT and the City of Cambridge, and there will never be one. Unfortunately, that means that occasionally the MIT police respond to calls that are far more serious than the ones described above. Thank you Officer Sean Collier for being there, and keeping MIT safe, my thoughts go out to you and your family.

It IS the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
