To the University community,
听
We are heartbroken by the loss of life and property resulting from this morning鈥檚 severe storms that struck Davidson, Putnam, Benton, and Wilson counties. We reached out today to the about 3,700 currently enrolled students who listed a home address in those counties to make sure they are aware of the resources available for those in need, including:
听
- Emergency Aid resources, including information about Raiders鈥� Closet and the MTSU Student Food Pantry, can be found here:听.
- Our Counseling Services, located in听Room 326-S of Keathley University Center, is available if students need to speak with someone. Students will generally have access to a same-day meeting with a counselor, and students are encouraged to take advantage of walk-in hours from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. For more information,听call 615-898-2670 or visit听.听
Provost听Mark听Byrnes has reached out to faculty to ask them to be responsive to any situations caused by this tragedy that could impact students and to make appropriate accommodations in assignments, testing and class attendance.
