Our hearts go out to the people of Israel and Gaza as this devastating conflict continues in the Middle East. The levels of pain, suffering, and destruction are incomprehensible.
Our hearts go out to the people of Israel and Gaza as this devastating conflict continues in the Middle East. The levels of pain, suffering, and destruction are incomprehensible.
We have no doubt that there are members of our UVU community who have close ties to people in Israel and Gaza and are experiencing this situation in very personal ways. For others, the horrific scenes that have been playing out on news outlets and social media feeds won’t soon be forgotten.
Wherever you are emotionally, and regardless of how you’re personally responding to this situation, we offer the support of UVU's leadership teams and resources to help you cope. This is a time for all of us to reach out to one another, keep conversations open, and seek understanding. This is also an appropriate time to remember the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when he said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.”
If you need additional support for yourself or loved ones, don’t hesitate to access these services:
