SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher says the university’s administrative offices and each of SUNY’s 64 campuses will observe a National Moment of Silence at 2pm on Thursday honoring the victims of last week’s shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon.
“College campuses are meant to provide students, faculty, and staff with a safe haven where they can teach, learn, and grow. It is unbearably saddening when a peaceful campus community like Umpqua Community College is disrupted by violence,” said Zimpher.
MCC President Anne Kress tweeted out this comment this morning.
“Please join @MonroeCC in standing with Umpqua Community College for today's moment of silence, 2pm Eastern. #IamUCC #UCCStrong“
Students, faculty, and staff across the university system are encouraged to show their support on social media using the hashtag#IamUCC.
