Dear Drexel Students and Colleagues,

We began this Valentine’s Day heartbroken over the shocking, devastating news of last night’s shooting on the Michigan State University campus, which left three students dead, and five others critically injured. We join the entire MSU community in grief, and extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones of the students who lost their lives.

This campus shooting is deeply upsetting to all of us. No one should hesitate to draw upon Drexel's support services. To schedule an appointment with a counselor, students can email counsel@drexel.edu; faculty, professional staff and graduate students can connect with a live SupportLinc representative by calling 1.888.881.5462.

As we process this tragedy, I strongly encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with our measures and protocols on Drexel’s emergency preparedness site for responding to a range of emergencies.

In the meantime, please keep our fellow students and colleagues at Michigan State in your hearts and thoughts.

Sincerely,

John Fry
President
