Model, actor and deaf activist Nyle DiMarco coming to campus

Geese taking over IUPUI’s campus slowly, but surely
Kidding! But we do have a goose alert from the Campus Facility Services Grounds Department:
The Campus Facility Services Grounds Department is asking for your help with geese on IUPUI’s campus.
Do not feed the geese – and if you see someone feeding the geese, please inform them that they should not do that. It is IUPUI’s policy to not feed any wild birds or animals on campus.
Geese have found different locations on campus where they like to build nests, and they often have eggs or goslings in these areas.
Geese are extremely protective of those areas around nests, and when humans get close, they are often attacked, which has led to injuries to members of the IUPUI community.
The CFS Grounds Department has a federal permit to remove the eggs and nests. If you encounter problems with geese, please contact the CFS Trouble Line at 317-278-1900.
