Dear UT Dallas Community,As I have watched and read about the events of last week, I have been filled with various emotions, including shock, horror, grief and sadness. Our hearts are broken for the people of Israel and for all those affected by the violence and inhumanity of Hamas. Yet, in the face of this cruelty, I have also felt pride in what has been happening at UT Dallas. Our remarkable students, staff and faculty have gathered the best of themselves to engage with each other respectfully and civilly. It is the very essence of the Comet spirit here at UT Dallas, a campus where everyone has a place.
