Message from Dr. Washington Regarding the Tragedy at MSU

Dear College Community,

Today we continue to mourn and grieve with the Michigan State University community. We stand together and offer our support and condolences to the students, faculty and staff at MSU.

Many in our own community have friends or family who are part of the Spartan family. Please take the time to show support for one another. Our advising and counseling department is available to assist students who may be suffering. Please call 269.488.4040 if you are a student in crisis. Faculty and staff who may want to talk to someone, remember that our employee assistance program provides 24/7 crisis support.

We are vigilant in keeping our campus safe and do not accept violence in our community. Remember that this is a shared responsibility that everyone must take seriously. If you see something, say something. Contact campus Public Safety at 488.4911 to report any suspicious behavior you may witness.

Let's do all we can to support one another in this time of tragedy.

Take good care of yourselves and one another.

Sincerely,

L. Marshall Washington, Ph.D.
