“We’re in This Together”

The COVID-19 pandemic has made the world a pretty scary place, as the number of cases and fatalities continue to climb and more and more people are furloughed or lose their jobs. None of us has ever experienced anything like this before, but it’s important to remember that although times are tough, we’re in this together. 

It bears repeating: we are all in this together. We emailed dozens of faculty, staff, and administrators and asked them to send some words of encouragement and reassurance to Terriers around the globe who are finishing out their semesters virtually, far from campus. Their words remind us that we’re there for one another and that we’ll come out of this stronger. Take a look.

  6. As the world is engulfed in a sea of loss, we are called upon to cultivate our hope. No doubt we must honor our countless losses of those we love, our lifestyle, the normalcy and security of our life, our funeral rituals, the freedom of movement, feeling safe, our savings and the ability to control the fundamental aspects of our life. Camu wrote “In the midst of winter, I found in me an invincible summer”. During this winter of the Coronavirus, we must each rise up and hold on to that which has not been lost, our connectedness, our ability to care deeply for one another, our love of those near and far, our compassion and our ability to mobilize a plan to navigate this dark night on our planet. The light of our hearts and the tenacity of our spirits will no doubt help each of us to ride this out. Trusting that in the end, we will learn more about ourselves, the world and those closest to us. Let hope be that light and love be the path that ignites our strength at such a challenging time.
