TruAlliance

Building Transparent Relationships Between the Truman Department of Public Safety and the Truman Community

TruAlliance was started in the fall of 2020 as an effort to open the lines of communication between the Truman Department of Public Safety and the Truman community. Designed to improve communication by building trusting, transparent relationships with various groups and offices on the Truman campus, the goals of this group are to: (1) establish proactive communication with student groups on campus, (2) enhance meaningful discussions about topics of importance to the students, (3) provide transparency about processes and procedures, and (4) to establish avenues for proactive, rather than reactive change on campus. This group is meeting by Zoom on Wednesday afternoons at 3:30 p.m. two times a month. We invite anyone who would like to join the conversation. To be included in the bi-monthly zoom invitation, contact Director of Public Safety, Sara Seifert at sseifert@truman.edu.
