Dear SUNY Oswego Students, Faculty and Staff,
On behalf of the SUNY Oswego campus community, I am writing to express our deep concern for the Ukrainian people and the recent attack on their nation. We condemn these atrocities and all human rights violations and injustices happening in Ukraine and around the globe. These acts are an attack on all of us committed to global peace, democratic principles and our unwavering pursuit of a more tolerant and humane world.
Later today (March 1), Professors Courtney Doucette and Murat Yasar from SUNY Oswego's history faculty will discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its many implications for the people there, in the rest of Europe and around the world in a panel presentation titled "Ukraine under Siege: The Past and Future of War in Europe." This event will take place at 4:30 p.m., and will be held in the Marano Campus Center auditorium (room 132). All students, faculty and staff are invited.
We understand that this recent conflict has deeply affected many members of the SUNY Oswego community and we are here for you. Our Counseling Services Center and staff in the International Student and Scholar Services Office are standing by to listen, engage, and provide support.
Sincerely,
Scott R. Furlong
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
