University at Buffalo (UB)コミュの東北地方太平洋沖地震に関して

mixi UBコミュニティーの皆様

１１日の大地震に関してはUBの日本人在学生、それから周りの学生も皆大変胸を痛め、現地の状況を心配しております。

日本から遠く離れた大陸にいて、今は祈ることしかできないのが本当にもどかしいですが、UBの卒業生、進学予定者、そして在学生の皆さんご自身とそのご家族の皆さんが安全でいらっしゃることを心からお祈りしています。

以下の文章はUBの現学長が学生・教員向けのサイト上に発表したメッセージです。

Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan

Dear Colleagues:

We are all shocked and deeply saddened by the terrible destruction caused today by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to those affected by the disaster and especially to our students, faculty, and staff from Japan and their families, as well as our many Japanese alumni, colleagues, and friends.

The University at Buffalo has many close and longstanding ties to Japan, and our thoughts are with our many institutional partners, research collaborators, and supporters during this very difficult time.

We are relieved to know that UB students currently studying abroad in Japan are safe and unharmed.

While we can’t know the full scope and scale of the destruction caused by the disaster, we trust the international community will lend all available assistance as soon as possible.

The University at Buffalo stands ready to provide comfort and support to our Japanese students and colleagues.

Sincerely,

John B. Simpson
President
