Thank You from the President

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff:

I want to thank all those who participated in today's gathering at curbside to express the College's sympathy, appreciation, and support for the fallen police officers, their families, colleagues, and friends as they made their way past CPTC in the memorial processional. I am proud of you all, standing shoulder to shoulder, demonstrating our solidarity in a collective embrace at this most difficult time.

Thank you, all, for your willingness to respond in such an outpouring of sympathy for our fellow community members, as well as those who came from all parts of the country and beyond.
