Information About A,S&E Classes

   We know that all of you have had a difficult day dealing with the terrible tragedies at the World Trade Centers and at the Pentagon and trying to make sense of what none of us can make sense of now. We have just come from a meeting with President Bacow and want to tell you that classes will be held tomorrow. We feel that it is important to move forward as a community of learning.

   We understand that some of you may have personal reasons related to this tragedy that will keep you from attending classes tomorrow. Faculty are aware of this and will understand your absence.

   Student Services personnel and faculty are available in Mayer Campus Center tonight from 6:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. to facilitate conversations about reactions of concern for the tragedies.

   Televisions will be available for those who wish to view news coverage as well. The Counseling Center is also offering group sessions at 1:30 each day this week for those who would like to discuss their feelings about the tragic occurrences.

   Please do not hesitate to contact either of us, the deans in Dowling Hall, the counselors and the chaplains within the Tufts community if you would like to talk about these events.

Sincerely,

Susan Ernst,
Interim Dean, Arts and Sciences

Ioannis Miaoulis,
Dean, Engineering
