Intruder enters female's Maxwell apartment

On the morning of March 11, a female student awoke to find a male intruder touching items on the desk of her Maxwell Residence Hall apartment.

Safety and Security responded to the intrusion call, which took place at approximately 4:45 on a Saturday morning.

When Safety and Security arrived at the apartment, the unidentified man had fled.

The female student, whose name was not released, reported to Safety and Security that she awoke to find the man touching items on her desk. She yelled at him, and he ran from the room.

The door to her apartment was propped open at the time, and the student's individual room was not locked.

The student described the male to Safety and Security as being of medium build, 5'11" in height with short, dark hair, wearing glasses and dressed in a dark clothing.

The intruder made no physical contact with the student.

College Director of Public Affairs Laurel Stavis declined to give further details on the incident, saying only that Safety and Security responded immediately to the student's call, but the intruder had fled before they arrived.
