100 <br /> 01 Campus Safety <br /> February 10, 2026 <br /> Dean Blackburn <br /> Director,Student Wellness <br /> University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill <br /> Suite 1310,Student Academic&Services Building(SASE) <br /> Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599-7475 <br /> Dear Mr. Blackburn, <br /> In my role as Executive Director of Environment, Health, and Safety(EHS)at the University of North Carolina, I was <br /> pleased to hearthat UNC Student Wellness is submitting a grant application to Orange County to continue educating <br /> students and employees at UNC-CH with opioid addiction resources and distribution of naloxone. As a member of <br /> the Campus Safety division, EHS shares the mutual goal of educating and protecting the health and safety of the <br /> campus community and fostering collaborative relationships towards this goal. <br /> UNC Student Wellness has a strong reputation on campus in providing essential programs and outreach services to <br /> UNC-CH community members, including substance abuse services, harm reduction coalition building and naloxone <br /> distribution and education. EHS is currently partnering with UNC Student Wellness to install OneBox*Naloxone kits <br /> adjacent to Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in select campus buildings. EHS manages the AED program on <br /> campus to provide easily accessible safety equipment for the community and we believe the addition of Naloxone <br /> distribution contributes to this goal. <br /> I fully support this grant submittal and continuing our collaboration with UNC Student Wellness to increase campus <br /> health and safety at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Catherine R. Brennan <br /> Executive Director <br /> Environment, Health and Safety&Risk Management <br /> University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill <br />
