Dear UHPers,
The UHP condemns in the strongest terms the attack on all victims of the March 16 shooting – including Delaina Ashley Yaun, Xiaojie Tan and Daoyou Feng, and other members of the Asian community who have been killed or harmed as a result of racism and hate. The recent surge in violence against the Asian and AAPI community is deeply disturbing and we want to remind everyone that there is no place for violence and hate in our program and community of scholars.
The UHP extends our sympathy and support during this time of pain and loss. We understand that many in our community may be seeking spaces to process, share, and receive support. Please know that our university resources remain available to you during this time, including the Office for Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement, Counseling and Psychological Services, Advocacy & Support, Student Affairs, Human Resources, and Faculty Affairs.
In solidarity,
The University Honors Program
Note on bias reporting: if you ever witness or are a target of an incident of hate or bias (involving any GW community members – students, faculty, or staff), please don’t hesitate to fill out this bias incident report form to make the university aware. If the incident occurred in a UHP space, please include that in your report. Reports can be submitted anonymously, though reports with names will enable easier support/communication from the office.
