The Dean of Students Office recognizes that students can be significantly affected by major incidents that happen around the world. Students might be particularly impacted when these incidents occur in their hometown or another place where they have strong family or cultural connection, and these incidents can understandably affect a student’s ability to focus on academics. Although the Dean of Students Office does our best to follow the news and reach out to students whose home communities might be affected by an incident, it can be difficult for us to identify every student who might be affected.
