South Hall's UPD Adopt-An-Officers

South Hall is lucky enough to have two UPD Adopt-An-Officers. Their goal is to assist us with any safety concerns we have, and to act as our liaisons to UPD. In case you haven't met them yet...

Officer Omar Ibrahim (Floors 1-5)
Officer Ibrahim grew up in Alexandria, VA, and received his Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from GW. He enjoys cars, motorcycles, making music, and eating.

Officer Noah Roberson (Floors 6-10)
Officer Roberson is originally from Maryland. His favorite sports teams are the Redskins and the Lakers. He loves pizza, cake, and ribs, and his favorite movies are the Lord of the Rings and Matrix trilogies. Officer Roberson is also a three-time ballroom dancing champion.

Make sure you say "Hi!" next time you run into them on-campus.
