Dear Santa Clara Community,
We want to extend support to members of our Santa Clara University community who may be impacted by the news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine that started last night. We do not have students studying abroad in Ukraine or Russia at this time, nor faculty or staff currently researching or working in those countries. However, we do have Ukrainian and Russian students, faculty and staff, and others with long connections to the area. This sad situation has already undoubtedly altered our world and will continue to impact our community in unforeseen ways. We pray for the Ukrainian people and our brothers and sisters throughout the world, asking for God's grace, mercy and peace.
We remind community members that mental health support is available on campus.
