As a College community, we express our immense grief and sadness for the evolving conflict in Israel and Gaza and offer our deepest sympathies and support to everyone affected.    

We join the international community in condemning the acts of terrorism against Israel, the targeting of civilians, antisemitism and all forms of hate and discrimination. We support a call for de-escalating the violence and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.  

RRC Polytech is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for everyone on our campuses. As in any conflict, members of our community will hold strong views, and we urge our community to engage in respectful dialogue. We ask everyone to take care of themselves and one another during these trying times.  

We are fortunate to have a diverse community of students and employees, and our thoughts are with each impacted individual.  

We are monitoring the situation as it evolves, and we encourage all affected students and community members to access available supports and services. Our Student Support Services and Employee Family Assistance Program are available free of charge for students, staff, and faculty.
