[Important Information for Employees] Fwd: Statement from SUNY Chancellor King and the SUNY Board of Trustees on the Anniversary of the October 7 Attack on Israel

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 Hamas
terrorist attacks on Israel. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has directed
that all flags at SUNY campuses, including ours, be lowered to half-staff
as a symbol of remembrance and respect.

As we join in solidarity with all those affected, we recognize the far
reaching and lasting impact that this tragedy continues to have on
communities and individuals here and around the world. I ask that we take
this moment to reflect on the deep loss and trauma that continues to
resonate from that day.
Please see the following statement from SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr.,
marking this solemn occasion and reminding us that our shared values
of empathy,
respect, and unity will guide us forward.

Thank you.

Dr. Alexander Enyedi
President
