A message from ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ president Ajay Patel regarding Tehran airplane tragedy
I was heartbroken to hear of the airplane tragedy that happened near Tehran, Iran on Wednesday, and I know I share this sadness with everyone in the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ community.
As more details come to light, we are learning that many of 176 passengers lost on Flight PS752 were Canadian, and over a dozen were from BC. This horrible incident will touch many lives, both locally and across our country.
I extend my deepest condolences to our Iranian-Canadian students, staff and community, and our post-secondary institution partners who have been affected by this tragedy. The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ community grieves with you during this very difficult time.
For any ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ students who may need support, we encourage you to visit with our counselling staff. Staff and faculty resources are available through myÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½/Human Resources.
Sincerely,
Ajay Patel President & CEO (Interim)
