Dear University Community,
This weekend we celebrated the 30th annual Parade of Nations. No event better represents our University value of Community. Unfortunately, we learned over the weekend that Temple Jacob in Hancock was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti. These actions and the intentions behind such hate crimes stand in direct opposition to the values that we and so many others in our community embrace.
