We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of life following the fatal shooting at Brown University and the targeted attack on the Jewish community in Sydney, Australia.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the victims, their families, and all those affected.

As we begin the holiday season, a time meant for light and togetherness, these acts of hate and violence have no place in our world at any time.

We stand united with the Brown University community, the Jewish community, and the people of Australia during this difficult time.
