Dear Barnard students,
We are writing because many in our community have been affected by the violence and loss of life that took place in Israel this morning. We offer our heartfelt thoughts and support to those of you who have been directly or indirectly impacted by today’s tragic events and the ongoing suffering in the region.
At Barnard, we strive to be a community that listens, learns, and supports each other in difficult times. As these events continue to unfold, we encourage you to reach out to one another and to the various offices at Barnard and Columbia:
