In light of the horrific terrorist attacks in Lebanon and France as well as those earlier this fall in Turkey and in spring Kenya, we wanted to reach out to you our students from across the globe.
To begin, we have hundreds of alumni and numerous current students from France, and the Paris. Ile de France region, we are shocked and saddened by this weekend’s attacks across Paris.
Aside from posts in our various groups, we have been in direct contact by email, SMS,and direct message with alumni and current students to ensure that they, their families, friends, and associates are ok. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to those whose lives were cut short.
As a global institution with a student body representing nearly 40 nations, and alumni in more than 80, we are resolute in our mission to create an environment where learning, communications, understanding, respect, and progress are encouraged, celebrated and protected.
In the coming weeks, months, and years we will undoubtedly and unfortunately face other challenges. More certain is the fact that we will prevail and we will persevere, as a close knit, connected, and caring community. With this in mind, please know that you can always reach out to us when you need, our administration, staff, and faculty are here for you, and as a family, we know you will all be there for your fellow students.
Sincerely,
Brian Hawkins
Dean of Student Affairs
