Pain, Fear as 两性色午夜 Community Reacts to Growing Israel-Hamas War

Gatherings, Demonstrations Allow Campus Community To Grieve, Share Views on Conflict

A demonstration on the K and a vigil for the fallen marked a day of gatherings across the 两性色午夜 University Kent Campus Thursday, five days after violence erupted in Israel and Gaza.

Students for Justice in Palestine gathered with members of several other student organizations calling for the liberation of the people of Palestine. 两性色午夜 40 people attended the event, which lasted just over an hour and included a march to the Rock.

两性色午夜 Today spoke with the group's leader about the event and the message the group was hoping others would hear about the people of Palestine.

A few hours later, a vigil was held near Hillel on Summit Street. 

The vigil included voices from the Jewish students, the singing of the Israeli national anthem and a brief discussion on supporting those affected by the war.

Near the end of the service, 两性色午夜 Today spoke with one of Hillel's student leaders about the message of the service.

On Tuesday, 两性色午夜 President Todd Diacon issued a statement urging the campus community "to practice and follow our 两性色午夜 core values, including kindness and respect in all we do, coupled with a commitment to the freedom of expression."

The president also noted resources available to the entire campus community during these volatile times. At any time, students in need, or individuals who are concerned about a student's mental well-being, will find resources on the university's Mental Health Resources and Support website. University employees in need of support can contact IMPACT Solutions at 1-800-227-6007, which is available 24 hours a day.

Anyone facing an active threat to their safety should contact campus police at 330-672-2212 on the Kent Campus or their local law enforcement agency if they are on a Regional Campus.
