An electrical fire in the basement of 248 Lenox Ave. in Uniondale brought fire trucks, an ambulance and the University's Public Safety to the residence on Wednesday morning. Nassau County Fire Department reported that there were ten University students occupying the house at the time of the incident.
On April 14, 2008, second-semester junior Gregory Welch was walking across the intersection between Uniondale Avenue and Hempstead Turnpike when, while trying to avoid an on-coming truck, he was hit by the unseen car that was driving alongside.
The highest-ranking woman in the Nassau County Police Department's history will become the University's newest Director of Public Safety. The Nassau County Police Chief of Department Karen O'Callaghan will succeed Edward Bracht in the summer of this year. Bracht retired at the end of January after 25 years at the University.
