Dear engineering community,
It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you about听the tragedy听at the King Soopers grocery store in South Boulder yesterday.听I ask that you keep the victims, their families听and all those who knew them in your thoughts and in your hearts.
The road to recovery from this tragic event will be a long one, but our community is kind, caring and resilient.听Please check in with your colleagues and classmates and ask them directly about how they are doing with this news.听Now more than ever is the time to show compassion, empathy and support for everyone on our campus and extended community.
If you would like help coping with Monday鈥檚 shooting 鈥� or with any topic on your mind 鈥� consider contacting听these resources on campus:
- Counseling and Psychiatric Services听(for students)
- Office of Victim Assistance听(for faculty, staff and students)
- Faculty & Staff Assistance Program听(for faculty and staff)
I urge you to pull together and听care for one another听as we await more information from local authorities. As the chancellor noted in his message, classes will take place听today, but we encourage faculty and supervisors to be flexible if students, faculty and staff need to miss classes or work to cope with the impacts of this horrifying ordeal.
Sincerely,
Keith Molenaar
Interim Dean
