To the Campus Community:
I am deeply saddened by the devastating accident involving the Farmingdale High School
marching band in Orange County, New York. As members of the same community, we grieve
the losses and trauma experienced by these students, families and many in our campus
community who have been deeply affected by this tragedy.
It may be helpful to know that various support services are available to help those
needing assistance. Campus Mental Health Services offers counseling and can be reached
at (934) 420-2006 or (934) 420-2111 (after hours), or via email at cmhs@farmingdale.edu. In addition, the Office of the Dean of Students stands ready to offer additional
assistance to students who may seek it at this very difficult time. The office can
be reached at (934) 420-2104 or dean.students@farmingdale.edu.
I know you all join me in supporting the broader Farmingdale community as it copes
with this tragic accident.
