Yesterday’s shooting in Atlanta has aroused significant anxiety and concern, particularly for students of Asian descent. These unspeakable acts come at a time when racism and hate crimes directed toward the Asian community are rising at an alarming rate. Our heart goes out to the victims of these acts of violence, and to their families, friends, loved ones, and communities. There is no better time to emphasize that hate has no home here.
We encourage those of you who are in a position to be supportive, to take the time to check in with your family, friends, and colleagues in the Asian community. The College stands in solidarity with the Asian community, and we are committed to combating anti-Asian racism and violence.
