Statement from President Jere W. Morehead:
I am deeply saddened by the devastating attack in New Orleans overnight, and I extend my sincere condolences to the victims, their families, and all those affected by this terrible tragedy.
At this point, we have learned that a University of Georgia student was critically injured in the attack and is receiving medical treatment. I have spoken to the student’s family and shared my concern, support and well wishes on behalf of the entire UGA community. I would like to express my gratitude to all the first responders who moved so quickly to help those affected by this senseless act of violence, as well as to the medical personnel who are caring for the injured.
As we continue to hold the victims and their families in our thoughts and prayers, the University will do everything in its power to support those in our community who have been impacted by this unspeakable event.
Que mucho amor le cojo a los lugares, a las personas, a los momentos, a las canciones, a los olores. Que intenso me enamoro de las ideas y las buenas intenciones. Sentir tanto es mi mayor virtud, mi fortaleza, pero también mi mayor debilidad y me gusta ser así.
