Students and residents were asked to remain vigilant for suspicious activity.

According to OSU’s website, Starship’s food delivery robots can deliver to any location on campus, not just residence halls.

Student’s simply place their online order and select “robot delivery.” Once the robot arrives, Starship’s app will notify the student that they have arrived at their location.
