Thoughts and prayers are with the Brown University family and the entire community. Having taught students at a dozen colleges and universities worldwide, I understand how frightening moments like this can be and how deeply devastating campus violence is for everyone affected. 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.
