Dr. Ian Rowlands, Associate Vice-President,ÌýInternational offers support to those affected by recent earthquakes
By University RelationsOn behalf of the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ community, I would like to express my concern and condolences to the families and communities throughout Türkiye and Syria devastated by Monday's earthquakes.
In particular, my thoughts go out to members of our campus community who have family and friends in the affected areas. Waiting for word from your loved ones when you are so far away is lonely and so difficult.
Students, staff and faculty who are experiencing any distress or difficulty as a result of Monday's earthquakes are encouraged to access the various support services listed below.
With care,
Dr. Ian Rowlands
Associate Vice-President,ÌýInternational

The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
