Body: 

Oregon State University Community Members,

 

We stand in solidarity with members of Asian and Asian American community as the rise in anti-Asian racism continues in our country. We affirm that members of the OSU community who are of Asian descent belong at Oregon State, are valued members of our community and deserve to feel safe and respected.

 

Please view this brief video expressing support for all Asian and Asian American community members. I am joined in the video by Grace Atebe, executive director of the Office of International Services, and Janet Nishihara, executive director of the Educational Opportunities Program.

 

We are here to support impacted community members. Corvallis campus students seeking support should contact Counseling & Psychological Services, the Office of the Dean of Students or the Asian & Pacific Cultural Center. OSU-Cascades students can contact the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for support and may make an appointment with a counselor through the Student Wellness page. OSU employees may seek support through the Beyond Benefits program.

 

To report a bias incident within the OSU community, visit the Office of Institutional Diversity’s Bias Incident Response website. Any member of the OSU community who believes they have been subjected to harassment or discrimination should visit the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access.

 

I encourage everyone to continue to contribute to a safe and welcoming university community and advance social justice and inclusivity for all.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Dan Larson

Vice Provost for Student Affairs
