Statement from President Malekzadeh: Russian invasion of Ukraine

We have watched with concern and grief as Russia escalates its invasion of Ukraine. Our thoughts are with those in our community who are personally affected by the violence and who worry for the safety of their families and loved ones.

Thank you to the Roosevelt faculty members who have shared their expertise on foreign policy and offered historical context on the conflict. As fake videos spread on social media, we encourage you to seek out reliable and accurate news sources.

As a university founded on social justice and mutual understanding, we stand with those who advocate for peace. Please reach out with compassion to your classmates and colleagues during this difficult time.
