Our hearts go out to the students, staff, faculty, and alumni of Virginia
Tech and their families following yesterday's tragedy. As a campus
community, we share in the shock and dismay over this sad loss of so many
lives.
While we can never predict when something of this nature will occur, we
must always be prepared. Consequently, I will form a task force to review
our security procedures and emergency response plans to ensure that UCF's
campuses are as safe as possible. I want you to know that security will
always be a primary concern at UCF.
If you feel that you need to talk with a counselor regarding this tragedy,
you may contact the Counseling Center at 407-***-****, where our
counselors are available to assist you.
John C. Hitt
President
