Dear Morgan Community,

I write to you today, disturbed by the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. This devastating event has undoubtedly shaken our city, and our thoughts are with all those affected by this catastrophe.

At the time of this communication, we do not believe this calamitous event directly impacted anyone from our Morgan community. Still, as members of the larger community of Baltimore and the State of Maryland, we extend our support, compassion, and assistance to those in need during this difficult time. We understand that many of you may feel anxious, saddened, or distressed by this news and have seen the widely circulated video of the bridge’s collapse. Tragedies of this nature can be unsettling, and I want to reassure you that we are here to provide support and resources for anyone who may need it.

In times of crisis, it is essential that we lean on one another for support and strength. Please remember to take care of yourselves and each other during this challenging time. If you need help or support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the University Counseling Center or other available resources.

Together, we encourage everyone to persevere through this challenging moment as we look to emerge stronger as a city.

Sincerely,

David Kwabena Wilson,
