Resolution R.19: Condolences Resolution

Whereas, in academic year of 2009–2010, the Cornell community learned about the deaths of several students;

Whereas, this loss of life has resulted in Cornell University coming together as one community not only to celebrate the lives of these Cornellians but to ensure that as a community, we reaffirm the value of life.

Be it therefore resolved that the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly wishes to extend its condolences for the recent tragedies Cornell University and the families have endured;

Be it finally resolved that the GPSA will send a copy of this resolution to Rammy Salem, President of the Student Assembly; Susan Murphy, Vice President Student & Academic Services; Kent Hubbell, Dean of Students & David Skorton, President of Cornell University.

Respectfully submitted,

GPSA Ad-Hoc Graduate Mental Health Committee
