A Message of Sympathy from President Aldridge
Date Posted: November 6, 2009In light of the tragic events at Ft. Hood, Texas, our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the violence and to the servicemembers, veterans, loved ones and friends whose lives have been touched by this devastating attack.
UMUC's worldwide military student body includes servicemembers and family members at Ft. Hood, and our long history of service to the military means that this tragedy is sure to impact countless other members of the UMUC community. Please be sensitive to the needs of colleagues and/or students who may be grieving, in shock or still waiting to learn if loved ones or friends are safe.
It is at times like these that UMUC's commitment to service and support is most apparent and most important, and I encourage and deeply appreciate your sympathy and understanding.
