UIW Celebrates National Night Out 2026! 💪🎉

Red visited the Friendship Garden to celebrate campus safety, wellness, and community!

From practicing self-defense moves and talking safety with UIW Police to visiting the Flu Vaccine Clinic, there was plenty to learn. Red also rallied with UIW Cheer and hung out with McGruff the Crime Dog, H-E-Buddy, and Bill Miller Bar-B-Q's Sweetie.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign dedicated to fostering police-community partnerships and neighborhood connections. Celebrations like this show how our campus community looks out for one another while connecting with the vital resources that keep us safe. Learn more at natw.org.

Thank you to Campus Life, UIW Police, our student organizations, and all our community partners for creating a safe, unforgettable evening! ❤️
