Faculty, Staff React to Russia's Attacks on Ukraine

Speaking to WHEC-TV on Feb. 25, an MCC faculty and a staff member -- both active within the local Ukrainian community -- expressed anguish and fear over Russia's attacks on Ukraine.

Elena Dilai, professor in the Mathematics Department, and Anne Kirkpatrick, secretary in the Education and Human Services Department, have friends and family members -- aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews -- living in Ukraine. Elena described scenes in Ukraine as told to her by a friend in Kyiv and shared an image of a basement where this friend fled to for safety. Anne talked about her recent Facebook interactions with a Ukrainian woman whom she believes is her cousin.

Go to WHEC-TV's website to watch Anne's interview and Elena's interview. The latter report includes information on ways Americans can show their support.
