Support for our community

To our U of T Engineering community,

The entire U of T community is shaken by the devastating war that has unfolded in Israel and Gaza over the weekend. I have heard from many students, staff, faculty and alumni who are deeply concerned for family, friends and colleagues in the region. I share in your sorrow and concern.

I encourage everyone to check in on each other, engage in respectful dialogue and seek support if you are feeling overwhelmed. The Faculty’s Mental Health & Wellness page outlines several resources for different groups within U of T Engineering and across U of T, as well as information on how to connect with our Mental Health Programs Officer. I’d like to highlight a few resources here:

Many in our community are impacted in different ways by this conflict. As the University continues to monitor the situation closely, it is important that our actions are guided with compassion and kindness.

Take care,

Chris Yip

Dean
