Dear Colleagues:

As we try to make sense of, learn from and prevent future incidents of school and other forms of community violence, I just wanted to offer some of the web resources that I maintain access to in the Center for High Risk Youth Studies here at MSCD. These will hopefully be useful to those of you interested in these current events from an academic perspective as we do our part from the campus community to support the restoration of our community following these tragic events.
