[Important Information for Employees] Message from President Enyedi on Russian Invasion of Ukraine

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus,

Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine as the unspeakable violence of
today's unprovoked Russian invasion destroys their communities, violates
their rights, and threatens their safety. Consistent with our core values,
SUNY Plattsburgh will always prioritize and enforce the fundamental human
and civil rights of all on our campus. Let us remember that we must always
demonstrate peaceful and open-minded conflict resolution and equitable
justice for everyone. Violence and aggression is never a solution.

I am deeply saddened by this and understand that situations of this nature
can greatly impact our daily lives, work and studies. Please know that you
are not alone, and that there are avenues for help and support available
now.

Students can reach out to Counseling Services at 518-564-3086 and/or the
Ward Hall Counseling Clinic at 518-564-4167 for assistance. Additionally,
students who are feeling personally
impacted by the events in Russia and/or Ukraine are encouraged to contact
the Global Education Office (GEO) at 518-564-3287 with concerns.

Faculty and staff may wish to reach out to the university Employee
Assistance Program (EAP) at 518-564-3277 and/or Clinton County Mental
Health at 518-565-4060 for resources and support within the community.

As an inclusive academy committed to honoring and nurturing the diversity
of our entire campus, I ask that you also be aware of those who are
struggling today and in the coming days, as we are all called upon to show
compassion and understanding to those who are in need of our support.

Thank you.

Alexander Enyedi
President
