Like many of you, we have spent the last few days watching the images and learning about the human tragedy taking place in Israel and Gaza. We are horrified by the continuing violence, death and destruction in the Middle East and its impact on members of our campus community. Many of our students, faculty and staff have family and friends in harm’s way. As this crisis unfolds, let’s support one another, respect differences of opinion, and uniformly denounce violence and acts of hate.
