CHESTER, Penn. — Congratulations to Widener University Executive Director of Campus Safety Anthony Pluretti for being named one of this year’s higher education Campus Safety Director of the Year finalists.

- Re-wrote the annual security and fire safety report, digitized the daily crime and daily fire logs, created an interactive public online crime portal for Clery geography and crime monitoring, created more efficient methods of tracking crime statistics throughout the year, and educated staff members and student groups about the importance of the Clery Act.
