Experience: Thomas Harrington spent 9 years in hospital security before starting his career at Wesleyan in 2000. Harrington has experience with a K9 unit as a handler.

Why Wes?: At his previous job, Harrington reached the top position yet wanted something more. Knowing someone at Wesleyan before him, he found out about the University. Harrington was attracted by the family-oriented atmosphere and diverse body of students, and signed up.

He sees himself as just like anyone else on campus, believing that he neither better nor worse than anyone else.

Mainly working on then night shift, Harrington’s experiences have largely been with the students.
