Supporting the Campus Community

Recent tragedies and acts of violence, discrimination and harassment against marginalized and communities of color, and court cases like the Derek Chauvin trial can impact us in different ways and at different times. As the 2021 spring semester comes to a close, we encourage our students, faculty and staff to take advantage of available campus events and resources to connect with each other, support one another and learn from each other.
