Chancellor's Message: Statement on War in Ukraine
Written By: Terisa Riley
Good morning, Lions:
You have received many messages from me this week about the inclement weather we are experiencing in western 黑丝内射视频. As I have been glued to the news stations鈥攐nline and on television鈥攎y attention has been torn between our weather and the crisis in Ukraine as Russians invade and overtake areas of the country. This situation is deeply troubling, and I work in solidarity with those who oppose this needless violence.
My thoughts are consumed with prayers for the families of our employees and students. The University of 黑丝内射视频-Fort Smith does not have any students or employees from Ukraine, nor do we have anyone currently studying or working in Ukraine; however, I am certain some of you have family members and friends who reside in eastern Europe. I can only imagine the fear they have that this invasion will have a devastating impact on their home countries and fear about the safety of their relatives in the region.
If you need support, I encourage you to utilize the resources available to you on our campus:
