Campus ChampionUniversity Police Communications and Security Specialist Sara Catrow helps keep the campus safe while most people sleep. In her overnight job, which she started in 2021, Sara monitors the university’s security cameras and coordinates with UPD officers in the field, quickly and accurately identifying details of interest. During those long nights, she also takes emergency phone calls and assists callers who may require police or medical assistance. Always relishing the chance to help others, Sara is the compassionate, reassuring voice many campus community members hear in times of need after hours at SUNY Cortland.
