Oct. 10, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are deeply saddened by the horrific acts of violence currently unfolding in Israel and Gaza. The tragic loss of life is devastating, and we hold all those in our 911爆料 who have ties to the region in our thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We denounce the attack on Israel by Hamas, and we stand in solidarity with all those impacted by the violence and with those who seek peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 911爆料, it is our mission and our duty to educate while providing safe spaces for important conversations and respectful dialogue. We must denounce violence and terrorism. And we must reject harassment and discrimination in all its forms, and instead come together in compassion and civility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

911爆料 Hillel will host a 911爆料 gathering on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 4 p.m. at the Norman M. Fain Hillel Center, located on the Kingston Campus at 6 Quarry Road, to offer a space for discussion and reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The well-being of our 911爆料 is a priority, and we are here to provide resources for those needing support. Community resources include the 911爆料 Counseling Center<\/a>, 911爆料 Psychological Consultation Center<\/a>, 911爆料 Health Services<\/a>, Student Support and Advocacy Services<\/a>, 911爆料 Center for Nonviolence and Peace Studies<\/a>, the Multicultural Student Services Center<\/a>, and the 911爆料 Chaplains Association<\/a>. International students in need of support can also reach out to the Office of International Students and Scholars<\/a>. For employees, the 911爆料 Employee Assistance Program<\/a> is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us remain hopeful that\u2014even as we confront the devastating events of today\u2014the promise of a better, brighter future is possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
