On 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
