Dear Students,
Like many of you, we were heartbroken to learn about Sunday night’s violence impacting college students in Charlottesville and in Moscow, Idaho. Through geography and affiliation, many Dukies in particular know loved ones in the University of Virginia community. Like you, our teams have been sending support and strength to the incredible Cavalier and Vandal communities over the past days.
Tragedies like these have an impact far beyond any individual campus. President Price conveyed Duke’s support for UVA and Idaho students, families, faculty, and staff. We encourage you to read his full statement on Duke Today.
This pre-Thanksgiving week is one that can include lots of deadlines and stressors but also opportunities to connect and reflect on a semester moving to a rapid close.  Please strive for balance and seek out support and connection as you need it.  If you need to talk to someone about recent events – or if you need any kind of support regarding your mental health and wellness –  reach out to any of the offices listed below our signatures.
Yours, 
Mary Pat McMahon
Vice Provost of Student Affairs
Gary Bennett
Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education
