Recent Gun Violence
The recent gun violence in Texas, New York, California, Oklahoma, Philadelphia and Tennessee are vivid and gut-wrenching reminders of the continuing toll of gun violence, but also that our campus public safety is a critical, shared responsibility. To foster an inclusive community, we must provide a safe and welcoming environment for our students, faculty, staff, patients, alumni and visitors. All have an important role to play.
