Returning Together | A Message to Our Ramily from Chancellor Bonita J. Brown

WSSU News & Information

 Dear Ramily,

As we prepare to resume classes tomorrow, November 10, I recognize that we are returning to campus with heavy hearts following Saturday's tragic events.

There is no single way to process what our community has experienced. Some may find comfort in returning to familiar routines, while others may need additional time and support. I ask that we extend grace, compassion and understanding to one another.

Classes will resume Tuesday, November 10, at 8 a.m. Our university continues working closely with law enforcement, and the safety and well-being of our campus community remain our highest priorities.

Please remember that support is available. Students may contact the Counseling Center at 336-750-3270, and faculty and staff may access confidential assistance through our Employee Assistance Program at 866-922-5712. I encourage our faculty and supervisors to be attentive and responsive to those who may need additional support.

As we return, let us continue to care for one another, honor those affected and draw strength from the compassion that defines our Ramily.

We are Ramily, and we will move forward together.

Bonita J. Brown
Chancellor
Winston-Salem State University
