We condemn the violent attack by Hamas on Israel and its diverse peoples. We mourn innocent lives lost across the region and the suffering that so many are now experiencing, as civilians will bear the brunt of the violence.

Our hearts go out particularly to those on our own campus whose families and friends are in danger. We encourage members of our community to take advantage of available support. Students can find support services on our Personal Counseling webpage and on the CUNY Mental Health Services webpage. Faculty and staff can find support services on the CUNY Benefits and Wellness webpage.

We stand against hate. The college remains committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse community, encouraging civil discourse, and enhancing compassion for one another. We pray that peace prevails.
