| Dear CIRES community, Many of you have probably seen the university’s statement on the terrible attack in Israel: “We at the University of Colorado Boulder are horrified and saddened by the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel that has sparked a war with the full breadth of consequences not yet known. We stand against all acts of violence and human suffering, and recognize the profound effects of the crisis on people living in the region, as well as Israeli and Palestinian scholars and students here in Colorado and around the world. As an institution of higher education, we will continue to promote free, open and thoughtful dialogue and academic expertise on this decades-old conflict.For members of our community directly affected by this, we offer ongoing campus resources and outreach.“ I share these sentiments and wish to express my support for all of you who are affected. These may be very difficult times for many of you, and some of you may find it challenging to concentrate on your work or other aspects of your lives. I encourage everyone to take time to reach out to colleagues who may be impacted, recognizing that people may respond to this crisis in different ways. Support each other and please support yourselves, drawing on campus resources as needed. Sincerely, Waleed Abdalati CIRES Director |
