policies as their hometowns, Monaco said.
"This is the first in a set of many steps," said Tim Cabonii, vice chancellor for public affairs at the University and a Good Neighbor co-creator. "We are extending an olive branch today, but it does not end here."
Brad Hess, a freshman from Wichita and Delta Upsilon Fraternity program volunteer, said he was impressed by the University's initiative.
"People really care more here," Hess said. "It makes me feel good. It just makes me feel safer and it feels nice to be joining that community."
The Good Neighbor program is the first to fortify the University's connection with the city.
While no immediate events are planned for the future, Monaco said the University will continue the initiative throughout the year
-Parties. Notify neighbors before throwing a party. They'll appreciate you cluing them in.
