Dear George Brown Students,
The Student Association would like to acknowledge the difficult circumstances that the People of Iran are currently facing. We understand that many students are struggling to reach their families and loved ones due to the widespread internet blackouts and communication disruptions. We are committed to supporting Iranian students of the George Brown community who have been affected by these events.
The Student Association sees you, and we are here for you.
We recognize that many students may be feeling anxious, isolated, overwhelmed, and experiencing a range of varied emotions. Your feelings are valid, and you do not have to navigate this alone. Students who require support are encouraged to reach out to George Brown supports and Student Association services.
