As you may be aware, there was a deadly shooting early Thursday morning near Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Three people were killed, including a CSU student and another person was wounded, who we hope will make a full and speedy recovery. Our hearts go out to all of those affected by this terrible tragedy. 

I have reached out to CSU’s President Tony Frank to offer our support and let him know that we stand with CSU as they cope with this tragedy.

Available services include Counseling and Psychiatric ServicesStudent Support and Case Management, the Office of Victim Assistance and the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program to name a few.
