Rice University Police Department

The Rice University Police Department (RUPD) is proud to recognize and celebrate the dedication of our Clery Compliance Coordinator, Shelley Godeke, today.

Shelley joined RUPD on July 1, 2025, and in just a few months, she has become an integral part of our team. Her role is vital: she ensures our university meets the requirements of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, which promotes transparency and accountability in campus crime reporting.

We are incredibly excited to have Shelley's expertise and commitment to transparency here at Rice. Please join us in thanking Shelley for her tireless work in making the Rice University campus a safer, more informed community!
