GSC Letter of Support Heading link
Dear Graduate Students,
In recent days, we have been closely monitoring the unfolding events in Israel and Gaza with deep and heartfelt concern. In light of these developments, the Graduate Student Council wishes to extend our support to our graduate students who may require assistance during these challenging times.
Our thoughts and empathy are with the people of Israel and Gaza who have already been affected, as well as those who may find themselves in precarious situations. It’s important to note that the university offers a range of resources to support students, both directly and indirectly affected by the events, during such stressful and uncertain periods. University counseling and mental health services are readily available to all of you, and dedicated teams are fully prepared to provide their assistance. If you have any questions or need information about the services available to you, please do not hesitate to contact us at uicgraduatestudentcouncil@gmail.com.
We hold onto the fervent hope that individuals of goodwill will come together to collaborate and work towards establishing a lasting and just peace in the region.
Sincerely,
GSC Executive Committee.
