As I have had by office broken into more than once, I too want to remind
everyone at the UTC campus is NOT secured. Someone has a key to buidings
and offices and is helping themselves.  Its imperative to keep laptops and
anything valuable locked up and OUT OF SIGHT over the holidays.

Its a terrible feeling to find your office stripped of all your personal
items.

I would like to know if all the buildings on campus will be locked during
the holidays?

Mary
