News 2022: UMass Dartmouth Stands with the People of Ukraine

Chancellor Fuller affirms the University's support

Dear Members of the UMass Dartmouth Community,

As war rages in Ukraine, I know that many of us are deeply distressed and outraged by this abhorrent invasion of a democratic nation, and by the destruction and loss of life all wars entail. The UMass Dartmouth community stands with the people of Ukraine, and with all democracies against tyranny and oppression.

The university’s division of Student Affairs has reached out to our students who are directly impacted by this crisis to offer a range of support services. My warmest thanks to all the staff, faculty and students who attended our vigil of solidarity yesterday evening, and who have reached out to support and comfort those who are worried about their family and friends in the region. May the cause of freedom prevail.

Best,

Mark A. Fuller, PhD

Chancellor

University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
