Dear CU Community,

As you have likely heard, police are conducting a homicide investigation at CU’s Colorado Springs campus, UCCS. I am deeply saddened by this incident, which is a tragedy for the CU community in general and UCCS in particular. The Colorado Springs Police Department is reporting that they believe this is an isolated incident and that there is no longer a safety threat on campus. CSPD will release additional details as available. We will all keep the family and friends of those affected and the entire UCCS community in our hearts.

The campus is closed today due to the incident. Chancellor Sobanet provided this communication to the UCCS community, and the campus issued this statement. The campus is actively working to support the well-being of students, faculty and staff.

In times like this, the connectedness of the entire CU community is a source of strength for us all.
