As you may be aware, a shooting took place yesterday at Umpqua Community College (UCC) in Roseburg Oregon. Our hearts go out to our colleagues at UCC - we are deeply saddened to hear about this tragic event. Please keep Umpqua Community College students, faculty, and staff, as well as all the individuals and families who were affected, in your thoughts.

In light of this event we also want to include the link for our Behavioral Assessment Team (BAT), it contains information and resources on how to report troubling persons or situations. This is an extremely important link as many of you are the eyes and the ears of the community here at the college and this tool can be very effective for raising awareness of escalating situations which in turn can be a preventative measure.
