President's Message about Campus Safety
"The tragic news about Annie Le touched us all, not only because an extraordinary young woman was taken from the world in a truly terrible way, but also because she was one of ours," writes President Seligman in a message to the University community. "Memories of Annie Le will endure here, where her gift for conducting potentially life-saving research took root. Our hearts go out to our friends at Yale, as we share their grief over the loss of such a promising young scientist."
"Annie Le's death underscores the importance of safety measures on campus and in the workplace. At the University of Rochester, we are dedicated to providing the safest possible campus for our students, faculty, staff, and visitors."
