This morning there have been confirmed terrorist attacks against
the United States of immense proportion, including incidents in
New York City and Washington D.C. As many of you may have
discovered already, telephone lines are almost completely inaccessible
due to the heavy volume of calls. Internet connections are also being
affected, and ALL airline travel across the country has been
grounded.
Many of us have family and friends in the cities where these tragic
events are unfolding, and there is a feeling of helplessness when
communication to and from those areas is impossible. At the same time,
for your safety, we urge you NOT to attempt to leave campus -- we
are working to identify the most reliable means of communication
possible to help keep you informed as the day progresses.
Counselors are available in the Chesapeake Rooms of the
University Center for students who would like to gather and talk
throughout the day. Know that we will continue to update you
with information as soon as we receive it. As together we
experience a national crisis of unprecedented proportion, each of
us will be relying more than ever on the sense of support and
community that characterizes our campus.
