MSU Incident

Dear Dowding Team Members and fellow Spartans, 

Today we are in mourning with the Michigan State University community following shootings that took three lives and critically injured five other people Monday evening in East Lansing. 

Though words feel inadequate in the face of the heartbreak, grief and shock the Spartan family is experiencing in the aftermath of these horrific events, we offer our sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies.  Please join us by lifting in prayer those who have lost loved ones or have been affected by this senseless tragedy. 

Many of us have colleagues, children, family members and friends at MSU, and we are in despair of last night’s violence and loss of life. None of us should have to live in fear of these types of incidents. 

At a time like this, we must lean on each other as well as on professional support services as needed. It’s OK to not be OK and to seek help. Over the days ahead as we process and try to make sense of what happened, lets continue to check on each other.  

Please continue to pray for healing for the entire Spartan Nation.
