Dear Campus Community,

Over the past month, our community has experienced tremendous loss. This is a difficult time for all of us, but especially for those who have lost a close friend or colleague. I express my sincere condolences to each of you.

During this time of grief and sadness, I know that you will support one another but I also ask you to take care of yourselves. Members of the college's counseling staff and chaplains are available if you need professional support. I want to remind our students that the faculty, staff, and administration of the college are here for you. In trying times such as these, it is important to remember that, as a member of our community, you are never alone.

If there is anything I can do for any of you, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

With sympathy,

Jill
