Resources for Civil and Racial Unrest
A MESSAGE TO OUR STUDENTS
Â
In light of the significant disruption in the United States Capitol, the Wellness Center extends our support to those affected. These threatening and violent acts are disturbing. In addition, we are aware of the ongoing awareness of the inherent racism in the differential response of law enforcement and government officials to those inciting and perpetrating violence in recent days and the Black Lives Matter protests calling for a just and equal society. We recognize the emotional and psychological impact of witnessing violence, terrorism, and racist acts even if they take place at a physical distance, for all of our students.  Â
