Last week, a series of powerful earthquakes struck Turkey and Syria. I’ve watched in shock as the full scope of the devastation became clear. At the Board of Curators meeting held on 2/9, I shared our deep condolences for the victims and their families and asked the university community to comfort and support our friends from Turkey and Syria.

No matter where you are in the UM System, we have resources available during this difficult time. If you need to talk with someone, please follow these links for counseling services at Mizzou, UMKC, S&T and UMSL.

The Employee Assistance Program is available to all UM System faculty and staff.

We will continue to stand with those impacted through the challenging days ahead.
