Important Notice for Parents & Family MembersCatamount Parents and Family Members, As you may have heard from your student and/or media outlets, WCU was made aware of an incident that occurred last night at an off-campus apartment complex. In addition to a timely warning message, the following information is being shared with the WCU community:
Our thoughts and support are with anyone who has been affected by this incident. If your student is in need of assistance and/or support, please ask them to contact me, Kellie Angelo Monteith, or Counseling & Psychological Services (828.227.7469). In an age of electronic and social media, assumptions and rumors will circulate. It is important to note that this matter is currently under investigation and a significant amount of factual information is unavailable at this time. In that spirit, we encourage students to contact designated law enforcement agencies immediately to share information that might be helpful in this matter. We also encourage students to continue to use general safety measures and tips on and off campus. Information and updates can also be found on the WCU news link. Respectfully, Kevin S. Koett |
