“You may have seen this commentary that was published Monday on PennLive. It was written by two members of our college community and, while I hadn’t seen it before it was published, I appreciate the authors’ advocacy on behalf of our Black students and colleagues.

I submitted a follow-up commentary with additional information to PennLive, which has been published, and you can view it here.
“I am encouraged by our continuing dialogue to advance racial justice and look forward to sharing some of the outcomes from the town halls.”
