[SUNY Plattsburgh Families] Message that went out to students

[Stephen Matthews]

Dear Families,

Earlier today, there was a false report of an active shooter at a local
high school adjacent to campus. While this was resolved quickly, it was
understandably disturbing to many students and staff, particularly those
working or studying in Sibley Hall, our building closest to the school.

The following email was sent to all students this morning. Please let us
know any questions or concerns you may have.

Support for Students and Faculty Following PHS Report
Dear Campus Community,

This morning's false report of an incident at nearby Plattsburgh High
School was disturbing and traumatizing to many of us. Simply seeing
emergency responders en route and on the scene at the school evokes deep
emotions.

In today's environment at schools across the nations, this is
understandable. As a campus, it is a reminder to care for each other at all
times.

Support is being given now to students and employees to provide resources
and support.

Please know that help is also available for all students and employees.
Students are encouraged to contact the Health and Counseling Center at
518-564-3086 / healthcenter at plattsburgh.edu. Students are also reminded
that the Student Assistance Program (SAP) provides free, 24/7 telehealth
counseling by texting or calling 1-800-327-2251 and/or by going online to
portal.BHSonline.com <http://portal.bhsonline.com/> and inputting username:
SUNYPlattsburgh.

Additionally, employees are encouraged to contact Kim McCoy Coleman,
Employee Assistance Program Coordinator located in 401A Beaumont Hall, at
eap at plattsburgh.edu for support and for additional referrals to community
resources and services.

Our University Police were included in the response to the high school and
I appreciate their work in this regard.

Alex Enyedi
