A Message to our Colleagues at MSU and City of East Lansing |
|
|
|
Our thoughts are with our friends and colleagues at Michigan State University and the City of East Lansing as they deal with yet another mass shooting in our country. We know that the University and city are demonstrating strong resolve and will get through this together. Tragedies like this galvanize solidarity among town-gown communities around the world to support, heal and work to stop these horrific acts of violence. We stand with the Spartans during this very difficult time!
