A Message of Care and Support Following Shooting at UNC Chapel Hill
Dear Niner Nation,
The latest report of a tragic shooting on a college campus, this time at UNC Chapel Hill, has left us stunned and disheartened. The fear, anger and profound sorrow that our friends and colleagues are bearing due to this unfathomable act of violence strike a chord of deep resonance within our community.
As you process the scenes and information you are seeing on the news and social media, you may also be experiencing strong emotions. Please remember there are campus resources available to help you:
- The Center for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is available to students, including 24-hour emergency access for those in crisis.
- The Employee Assistance Program provides 24-hour support for our faculty and staff, and the Ginger App is always available to you.
Make sure to take care of yourself so that you may help take care of others.
Just as others stood with us, we stand with Chapel Hill now, offering our support as they navigate the days and weeks to come. We know the Chapel Hill community will emerge even stronger than they are today.
Sincerely,
Sharon L. Gaber
Chancellor
