We want to extend our deepest sympathy and thoughts to everyone affected by the earthquake in Türkiye and Syria.
In the early hours of 6th February, people in Türkiye and Syria have been met with high magnitude earthquakes and aftershocks, reaching as high as 7.8 on the Richter scale. The effect of this has led to a high number of casualties with even more people missing and many people without shelter or food.
We understand that many students on our campus may be affected by these events and we want to assure you that there is range of support available.
