The Department of Safety and Security is excited to announce this year’s recipient of the Constable Heidi Stevenson Memorial Award: Neer Patel. Neer is currently pursuing his BSc at Acadia and is an exemplary member of our Campus Patrol team. When asked what the award means to him, Neer shared the following:

"I have been part of the Safety and Security team since my second semester, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The job is both enjoyable and fulfilling, thanks to the supportive team—from supervisors and admin to management. DSS embraces diversity and offers exceptional support in every aspect, especially for international students. If you ever have the chance to work in safety, seize the opportunity—you won’t regret it. I am truly honored to receive this award and grateful for the recognition. The support from this team has been invaluable, and I feel fortunate to be part of it. Thank you all!"
