Dear UMBC Community,
Our care and support go out to the Morgan State University community after last night's shooting on campus that left five people injured. Through colleagues, friends, family members, and neighbors, we are closely connected to Morgan State, and I know our colleagues throughout Baltimore and across Maryland are likewise extending their support to Morgan State President David Wilson and everyone in the Morgan State family.
For any members of our community who may need support, I encourage you to please find help through the counseling resources and other forms of support available to you, including Retriever Integrated Health's mental health services and resources for helping others. The UMBC Employee Assistance Program provides counseling services to staff and faculty. Please do not hesitate to reach out for help.
This also is a moment to review our information and resources related to emergency management and make sure you are signed up to receive emergency alerts.
Please take care of yourselves and hold the Morgan State community in your hearts today.
Sincerely,
President Valerie Sheares Ashby
