Dear Southwestern community,
The murders in Atlanta this week are a tragic reminder that women and our Asian American and Pacific Islander communities continue to be victimized by discrimination and violence.
Southwestern University stands with women and the AAPI community to demand the end of this rhetoric driven racism. This University understands the importance of community and the value of supporting one another during difficult times. If you want to connect to our own AAPI community or learn more about confronting racism and exclusion, I urge you to contact our
Office of Diversity Education.
If you are feeling vulnerable or overwhelmed please seek on campus counseling at 512.863.1252.
As scholars and members of the global community it is our collective responsibility to understand and correct the injustices of racism.
Sincerely,
