Parent & Family Updates

At this national time of Thanksgiving, we faculty and staff in the academic division are grateful for the opportunity to educate your students and for your and your students’ presence in our community. We certainly join with the messages you have received from Kent about supporting all our students in this learning environment amid the horrific violence that has been occurring beyond our campus.

Since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, there has been an upswing in antisemitism, Islamophobia, and interpersonal biased incidents worldwide, leading to a surge in fear and anxiety in many communities. College campuses are especially vulnerable and have become flashpoints amid the war.

I understand that tomorrow (Thurs., Nov. 9, 2023) is a national day of protest in response to the current events unfolding in Israel and Palestine. We are aware that in solidarity with this protest, some of our students are planning a class walkout at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.

It is hard to believe that we are approaching the end of the semester already. We hope that you and your student are ready to reflect upon this semester and eager to relax during the Thanksgiving and winter breaks
