Dear Campus Community,
I am at a loss for words and not quite sure how to process what occurred in Texas today, the murder of 14 innocent children and a teacher, its impact on each of their families, and the pervasive acts of unimaginable violence occurring across the United States, the world, this city and in our neighborhoods. I don't know what to say, but I know I do want students to know that if you need to talk to someone, or if you have been affected in any way, please know that KCC Wellness Services are here for you.
