School of Planning, Design and Construction

The most recent acts of murder targeting on Asian women in Atlanta, Georgia, create fear, anger and frustration to many people. President Stanley, Provost Woodruff, Vice President Bennett, Diversity Research Network Director Johnson, Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans (APIDA)/Asian Faculty Staff and Administrators (AFSA), APIDA students and many others have shared their concerns and urged everyone to collectively fight against racism and discrimination in all its forms.

As the School of Planning, Design and Construction is home for many students, staff and faculty from everywhere with diverse backgrounds, I urge you to think of any who may be affected and reach out to them. We must assure to each other that we are here to support each other.
