A message from La Jerne Terry Cornish, President

Dear Campus Community:

Like so many of you, I have been closely following the heartbreaking coverage of the earthquakes that have devastated Turkey and Syria. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who have lost their lives and been injured and displaced by this horrific tragedy.

In case you missed it, an Intercom announcement posted by Arzu Karaduman, a visiting scholar from Turkey, shares how you can provide critical aid to millions of Turkish and Syrian citizens who have been deprived of their basic needs.

I encourage you to take just a moment to read about the many ways you can support this worldwide effort and then choose to help in any way that you can.

In the spirit of hope and healing,

La Jerne Terry Cornish
President
