The entire country has once again been shaken by the tragic acts of violence that occurred on the Oregon Community College campus yesterday afternoon. 10 Umpqua Community College students were killed, and several more were injured after a 26 year old male opened fire on a classroom, according to the latest news reports.
In response to this issue of campus violence, the President of Western Connecticut State University, Dr. John B. Clark, emailed a letter earlier this morning to students and faculty addressing the issue as it pertains to WCSU two campuses. He stated that many may notice a "greater presence" of police on campus, which is to ensure the ultimate safety of students and faculty.
Below is Dr. John B. Clark's email:
Thank you for your attention.
Dr. John B. Clark
President
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims from yesterday's shootings.
