Dear Members of the Michigan Tech Community,
As many of you are aware, there was a shooting at our sister institution, Michigan State University, which resulted in several students being killed or injured. Michigan Tech grieves for the students, faculty, and staff of Michigan State University, their families, and the entire East Lansing community.
Yesterday’s incident leaves many more questions than answers. And, I know the incident itself is traumatizing for many. Social and emotional support—including counseling services—are available. Students can call the Center for Student Mental Health and Well-being at 906-487-2538 to make an appointment. Employees can contact the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) by calling 906-225-3145 or visiting Northstar EAP to schedule an appointment.
As we stand in solidarity with MSU, it is a sobering reminder of the need to always be prepared and remain vigilant. While incidents like this are hard to fathom, we will always strive to provide our students and employees a safe place to learn and work.
Sincerely,
Rick Koubek, MTU President
