As President Wright wrote in his community letter the day after the Virginia Tech tragedy, "The staff at Dartmouth are committed to maintaining a secure campus. Safety and Security has emergency protocols in place, as do specific departments, and we review these regularly. There may be lessons about campus safety that come out of the tragedy at Virginia Tech, and we, along with other colleges and universities will listen and learn." Dartmouth has an emergency management committee that is chaired by the Senior Assistant to the President Sheila Culbert, which meets regularly to discuss campus preparedness. Our thoughts and our prayers continue to go out to the students, faculty, staff and families at Virginia Tech.
