Dear Clarkson Community,
It is with great sadness that we learned of the murders of the Afzaal family in London, Ontario. This hate crime has been a terrible blow to the local community and we realize is impacting many throughout the wider Muslim community and Canadians everywhere.
Those of us who believe in and strive for a peaceful world where we embrace each other in both our similarities and differences have heavy hearts as we remember those lost and the young boy whose family was taken from him in this horrible act.
We want you to know that the Clarkson Community is here for you. We stand against Islamophobia and celebrate and value our community members who are Muslim and Pakistani.
The Chief Inclusion Office is here for you. The lounge is open and so is the meditation room. The Dean of Students, Human Resources, and the Counseling Center are also available to help community members.
