Supporting the 91ÖÆƬ³§ community during times of conflict

The 91ÖÆƬ³§ community reflects our global community, with students and employees having connections to every part of the world, including Ukraine and Russia. There are many people in our community who are personally impacted by the war in Ukraine, and many more who are feeling the tremendous weight and anxiety of recent events.

As an institution of higher education, let us remind ourselves of our responsibility to foster an environment of deeper understanding and empathy toward one another. In the wake of extensive divide and distress, we must come together and reaffirm a sense of belonging for everyone in the 91ÖÆƬ³§ community.
