We are deeply saddened by Sunday night’s horrendous attack in Las Vegas. Our community shares in the shock of this senseless tragedy and expresses profound condolences to the many families affected by the attack and its aftermath. Our hearts are with the Columbia students, faculty and staff who have connections to the area and with all who are affected nationally.
For Columbia students seeking mental health support, professional counselors are available on the Morningside, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Barnard campuses. In addition, pastoral counseling and faith-based support are offered by the Office of the University Chaplain.
Today at noon, the bells of St. Paul's Chapel will ring to honor the victims. In addition, spaces for reflection are available throughout the week from 9 am until 9 pm at St. Paul's Chapel and in Earl Hall.
