About The Quad Squad

The Quad Squad is comprised of Student Affairs and Strategic Enrollment Management professional staff members, led and trained by Student Life & Leadership, who monitor outdoor free speech activities coordinated by students, registered student organizations, and campus visitors. It was granted the name of “Quad Squad” since many of the activities happen in the Central Quad.
