Moments like these remind us how vital our work truly is. Our campuses look to us for clarity, calm, and compassion, often while we’re navigating crisis response and fast-moving circumstances. We don’t do this work alone, and none of us should feel like we it.
To my colleagues in higher education communications: In moments like these, our work is most important. Supporting our communities with clear, compassionate, and timely outreach, while handling crisis response under intense pressure, is our obligation. If anyone needs support or wants to discuss crisis communication strategies, my door is open.
As someone who has educated students across a dozen institutions globally, I understand campus communities in ways most executives may not.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Brown University family members as well as the entire community of Providence, Rhode Island, and everyone living in the United States of NRA.
Having educated students at a dozen colleges and universities worldwide, I know how frightening moments like this can be and how deeply devastating violence on campus is for everyone it touches. What should be the close of a semester, a time of relief, reflection, and anticipation of being with family and friends, has instead been overshadowed by fear and uncertainty.
The loss of normalcy is itself a profound harm for everyone on earth who wishes for peace, joy, and goodwill towards all.
Again, in moments like these, our work matters most. We are responsible for supporting our communities with clear, compassionate, and timely communication—often while managing crisis response under intense pressure. That responsibility is not optional; it’s essential. If anyone needs support, a sounding board, or wants to talk through crisis communication strategies, my door, and my lines are open. https://imaginus.biz/
