Join Us Today for a Moment of Silence: Remembering the Victims of Buffalo

Please join us Today, Thursday May 19th, at Noon in the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center Atrium to honor and remember the victims lost duirng the tragic mass shooting in Buffalo, NY, and to take a moment of silence to mourn for those impacted by this horrible tragedy.

“This past Saturday, an 18-year-old shooter, motivated by hate and racism, traveled to Buffalo, New York where he murdered 10 innocent individuals in an act of cowardice, ignorance, and inequity. Eleven of the 13 shooting victims were Black. The ripple effect of outrage, sorrow, and fear resulting from this tragedy weighs heavily on our hearts as we mourn the victims and pray for their families and community.

Monroe Community College joins SUNY Interim Chancellor Dr. Deborah F. Stanley, state and community leaders, faith groups and neighbors across New York in standing tall against white supremacy, racism, and the violent extremism which often follows. MCC does not and will not tolerate actions motivated by hate—period.”

As Dr. DeAnna Burt-Nanna has mentioned above in her statement to the college, MCC does not and will not tolerate prejudice, hate, or racism. As we all take the time to mourn and grapple with the events that took place last weekend in one of our sister communities, please know you are not alone. The campus community is here to support each other and hold each other up in this time of great sorrow.
