Dear Community Members, 

We know many of us are concerned and dismayed by the news of the reported physical assault, involving sexual orientation bias, that took place on our Corvallis campus. We know incidents like this can be traumatic. We are offering a Community Care Circle in support of anyone struggling or who wants to be in community in light of this violence. The Community Care Circle will take place Tuesday, February 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the Kaku-Ixt Mana Ina Haws. 

Please help us spread the word about this event by using the enclosed flyer, Instagram image, and monitor materials. This event is hosted by Diversity and Cultural Engagement-Pride Center, Counseling and Psychological Services, and the Office of Institutional Diversity. 

Accommodation requests related to disability should be made to Cindy Konrad at konrad@oregonstate.eduor call 541-737-9969. 

Additionally, two employee-only, virtual community care spaces are available, facilitated by the Employee Assistance Program. Please register for a session via the links below. Both sessions are limited to 30 employees. Accommodation requests related to disability should be made to Christina Schaaf at Christina.Schaaf@oregonstate.edu or 541-737-4960.
