Caring for Those Affected by Flooding
As our region continues to recover from this week’s severe flooding and evacuations, I want to express our shared concern for those who have been impacted — whether directly or through loved ones.
Dear Seattle University Community,
As our region continues to recover from this week’s severe flooding and evacuations, I want to express our shared concern for those who have been impacted — whether directly or through loved ones. Please know that we are here to support you in any way we can, and that the Seattle University community is holding you in our thoughts.
Our Student and Campus Life team has been reaching out to students from the most affected areas, and I want to remind everyone of the campus resources available. If you need assistance, please connect with your instructors, supervisors, or student support services. Here are some resources available to you:
Students
- Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
- Dean of Students: deanofstudents@seattleu.edu
- TimelyCare (24-hour virtual Talk Now)
- Campus Ministers are available in Student Center 120 or by calling 206-296-6053 for an appointment.
Faculty and Staff
- Resources for Living (through Human Resources)
- Contact the Center for Jesuit Education at 206-296-6133 or centerforjesuiteducation@seattleu.edu.
To all our students finishing their finals, I wish you well as you wrap up the fall term. With Christmas and the holiday season upon us — a time we spend with family and friends — let’s continue to care for one another and keep those most affected in our hearts.
Warmly,
Eduardo Peñalver
President
