The UNO community joins with the rest of our city, state and country in sharing our condolences, sympathy and concern following the attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand last week.
"Our thoughts and prayers go to the families and communities so devastated by this event," said UNO Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D. "It's a vivid reminder of how powerful hate can be and how much stronger love can be."
