HEERF Funding Disbursement

As a follow-up to the communication sent by President Frederick on Oct. 20, we are writing to confirm that eligible students have been awarded a grant under the Federal Higher Education Relief Fund (HEERF). The grant will be posted to student accounts and will not be applied against any balance due.
 
For context, this is the third round of student funding distributed by the University in support of student financial relief from pandemic-related hardships. More than $38 million in need-based financial support has been distributed to students since March 2020. 

International Pronouns Day

International Pronouns Day began in 2018 and takes place on the 3rd Wednesday of October each year to educate and raise awareness about respecting and sharing personal pronouns. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects people who are transgender or gender nonconforming. Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is one of many important ways we can show respect for one another and foster an inclusive learning and working environment.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

The issue of domestic violence and sexual harassment is a very real concern for institutions of higher education. As we return to campus, we must rededicate ourselves to cultivating and maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning and working environment free from sex and gender-based discrimination, harassment and violence. - President Wayne A.I. Frederick
