Columbia is UNSAFE. Yet another robbery, but this time the student dies. These types of crimes are common place. Thefts, rapes, and harassment are completely ignored when reported to Campus Security. I don't feel safe here, and I leaving for good at the end of the term.

Dear GS Students,

It is with great sadness that I share with you the news of the tragic death of a Columbia student enrolled in the Graduate School of Arts &

Sciences. On Friday evening, a graduate student from GSAS was struck by an automobile at W. 122nd Street and Broadway while apparently fleeing an attempted robbery. The student passed away as a result of the injuries sustained when he was struck by the vehicle.

A police investigation is underway and is being supported by

Columbia's Office of Public Safety. At this time, there are no suspects in custody for the attempted robbery. The Office of Public

Safety has posted a security alert relevant to the alleged robbery, which is attached to this email.

We grieve the loss of this member of our community and send our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. Such tragic incidents trigger all kinds of concerns and emotions and thus I want to remind you that your GS advisor as well as staff at Counseling and

Psychological Services are at the ready to listen and talk with you.

Please note that Counseling & Psychological Services will have staff working special hours in Lerner Hall today from 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Students seeking support are encouraged to drop by during that time, or to call 212-854-2878 at any time.

Sincerely,

Mary McGee

Dean of Students and Associate Dean of Faculty
