Lewis & Clark College joins the nation in mourning the tragedies on the East Coast. The College has confirmed that all 14 students participating in this fall's off-campus study program in New York City are safe.

Read President Mooney's letter to the Lewis & Clark community on September 11, 2001. A convocation was held on September 11, and was concluded with the reading of William Stafford's "A Ritual to Read to Each Other".

In the days immediately following the attacks, the Dean of Students provided a series of campus updates: September 12, September 13, September 14, September 18.

Members of the Lewis & Clark community may wish to assist in the relief and recovery efforts through, among others, the American Red Cross and the American Liberty Partnership.

Mail Advisory

(Message from Jane Atkinson, Vice President and Provost, October 17, 2001)

In light of recent incidents around the country, the FBI has issued an advisory about spotting potentially harmful mail. This advisory is available on the USPS Web site at http://www.usps. com/news/_pdf/poster. pdf

The College has no reason to expect that dangerous mail would be directed at any member of our community. However, we are passing along this information to aid us all in exercising caution and common sense.

We are mindful of the safety of staff and student workers in our Mail Room and have asked them to be alert to suspicious-looking mail.
