“Processing these two horrific events will take a long time for all of us. They fall on the heap of so many traumatic events in recent years. On campus, we will look to offer additional opportunities for small groups to join for reflection and support. As always, remember that our chaplains are ready to support all members of the community, and counselors are available to support students at the Sykes Wellness Center.” - Linda Carter-Griffith, Associate Head of School for Equity, Inclusion, and Wellness
