Bobcat Parents and Families, 

The tragic event that occurred Tuesday has left me shaken and deeply saddened. As a nation, we mourn the heartbreaking and senseless killing of 19 children and two teachers in a fourth-grade classroom in Uvalde, Texas. As parents, we grieve for these families and grapple with how to help our own children cope with this tragedy.

I wanted to share several resources available to all members of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ University community to help navigate grief and loss. OHIO offers a variety of support resources to our students. If you think your student would benefit from support for psychological and emotional well-being, please consider the resources below.
