Dear Otis College Community,
On my first day as President at Otis, I want to acknowledge the pain felt within our Community spurred by the recent and tragic killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, among so many others. Personally, I feel a moral obligation to speak out against injustice. Black people in America are uniquely affected by systemic racism, racial profiling, and police brutality. We all need to work together to actively address structural inequality in our society, and in higher education. Black Lives Matter at Otis.
