To Members of the UCLA Community:
As our nation passes through this time of immeasurable sorrow
and grief, we extend our deepest sympathy to the families of those
who have lost their lives and to the many victims who have been
injured in this tragic attack on America. Â We are saddened
that these vicious acts have drastically altered the lives of so
many innocent people and, indeed, the life of our country.
UCLA will remain open during this period of national recovery,
for it is our intention to continue to engage in the education,
research, and service that our community, our nation, and the world
expects of us. Â UCLA managers, supervisors, and faculty are
encouraged to continue to accommodate the special needs and
circumstances of individual employees and students.
We must now direct our energies toward the healing process.
 I know that our students, faculty, and staff will be sources
of compassion and support for one another, and that together we
will find ways to cope with this tragedy. Â The professional
staffs of UCLA Student Psychological Services and of the Staff and
Faculty Counseling Center stand ready to serve those who seek
counseling and other services.
We will continue to explore ways in which the UCLA family can
best assist the survivors of the terrorist attacks and can
appropriately mourn the incomprehensible human loss.
I will keep you informed of additional information as it becomes
available. Â You can keep abreast of developments by checking
the campus home page at www.ucla.edu or by calling
1-800-900-UCLA.
Thank you for your dedication and cooperation in this trying
time.
Sincerely,
Albert Carnesale
Chancellor
