What is Operation GIFT?
Operation GIFT is a crime prevention initiative that began in the winter of 2005 and has continued with great success. The concept of this campaign is to provide free parking to students, faculty, or staff who are leaving town during the break. However, students, staff, or faculty working on campus during the break may also take advantage of this GIFT. The ultimate goal is to eliminate vehicle crimes by getting as many vehicles off the city streets and to park inside a structure or lot that offers security.
Fight On!
