Dear all,

I am writing to let you know more information on the Vigil for Peace to be held tomorrow evening on campus. I am grateful to the many students, many with connections to the Ukraine region, who helped plan this event, which is sponsored by the Office of International Services and Religious and Spiritual Life and Contemplative Practices. Here are the details.

Humanitarian contributions to people in Ukraine can be brought to the vigil, and more information will be shared there about how people may give. Needed contributions include:

  • Winter clothing
  • Children's toys

  • First aid kits (alcohol wipes, bandaids)
  • Basic medication (Advil, aspirin)
  • Personal and feminine hygiene products
