Dear Students,

We are deeply saddened by the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria with Kahramanmaraş at its epicenter. We wish God's mercy on all those who lost their lives; our deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their beloved ones, and a speedy recovery to the injured.
