“Sgt. Ghee brings a wealth of experience and expertise in law enforcement and higher education public safety, as well as community policing,” said Brandywine Chancellor Marilyn J. Wells. “With her thoughtful and compassionate approach, her commitment to open communication, and her values, I’m confident she will provide strong leadership for our police and public safety station and serve the broader campus community.”
