This year, three new members have been added to Riordan’s campus safety staff, LeVander Brown, Michael Kilgariff ’17, and Aidan Murphy ’14.

Campus safety staff members help make both students and faculty feel protected and secure around campus. Murphy reported that being a safety campus team member has had many benefits. “I’ve been learning a lot more and coming out of my comfort zone, which I do more now,” he said.

Brown stated, “My day-to-day responsibilities include checking in on football players in class, making sure they have food, and are behaving themselves in their classes.”

Brown added that the most challenging part of being a campus safety member is having to remind students of the safety protocols and being constantly alert of the protocols.

Campus safety members are often seen carrying a yellow pouch across their body, which holds a convenient first aid kit for emergencies and a walkie talkie for fast communication between other members of the safety crew.

Kilgariff noted that the biggest difference from his time when he was a student to his time now as part of the faculty is Riordan’s change to coed. He remarked, “I think the change from all boys to coed has really helped with bringing out the school spirit.”

Not only is Kilgariff a part of the campus safety team, but he has also worked in the RSP program as a teacher aide and a member of the cross country and track and field program here at Riordan as a coach.

Although Brown did not attend Riordan, he feels the strong honor and pride it is to be a part of the Riordan community.
