Stay in, talk to your friends and family. Maybe watch a movie. In light of the most recent news, be glad you're safe.
[EDIT 7:35 pm]
Situation change - starting tomorrow, things will sort of return to normal. With a high security presence, the libraries and dining halls will reopen, and a flexible finals schedule will be announced.
Email from President Roth:
After extensive consultation between Wesleyan and law enforcement officials, we have decided to begin to open the campus to more regular operations, starting with opening Usdan for a few hours this evening. We are instructing students to remain indoors after dinner tonight, but meals are being served, tomorrow morning the library will re-open, and before noon tomorrow there will be an announcement of a new, flexible schedule for final assignments. But we are still grieving; we still mourn.
There will also be a memorial vigil for Johanna Justin-Jinich tomorrow afternoon:
Tomorrow at 1 p.m., two days after the shooting that took the life of Johanna Justin-Jinich, Wesleyan will hold a brief memorial vigil in the Huss Courtyard behind the Usdan Center. There will be time for Johanna’s friends and family to plan other ceremonies at Wesleyan, and perhaps elsewhere. But tomorrow we will gather just to be with one another and remember. We will pay our respects to Johanna’s all-too-brief life.Memorial Vigil for Johanna Justin-Jinich
We will gather now because we need to, because it is right to do so, and because we feel it is safe enough to do so. There is now a much more robust police presence on the Wesleyan campus, and we will retain that presence as long as necessary.
Let us come together tomorrow at 1 PM in compassionate solidarity with one another, and in remembrance of Johanna.
Date: Friday, May 8
Time: 1 pm
Place: Usdan courtyard
