Dear colleagues,

Even as we go on with business as usual, many of us are processing and absorbing the implications of national and world events. Opinions vary significantly across OSU regarding all of these events, and we as faculty and staff need to ensure that we are supportive of the needs of all of our colleagues and students across the political spectrum(s). The work we are doing to educate the next generation of scientists is more important than ever, but please take the time to take care of your own needs, those of your colleagues, and those of your students. The resources below may be useful.
