Dear university members,

it is with deep concern that we follow the multiple crises unfolding around the world, the violence they have caused, and the suffering that has resulted. We share the worries and pain of all members of our university community who have been personally affected by these events or whose family members, friends, or acquaintances have been affected. Our solidarity goes out to all people in the current crisis regions.

We would like to offer university members who are acutely affected quick and accessible support in coping with their distress: Students can contact the Student Counseling Center and employees can contact the psychological counseling service at the  Center for Psychology and Psychotherapy.

We thank all members of our university community for their compassionate support of affected colleagues and students and for their sincere sympathy.

Yours

Martin Butzlaff          Jan Peter Nonnenkamp          Jan Ehlers          Dirk Jakobs          Petra Thürmann
