Dear Members of the Amherst Community,
I write in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to make you aware of events that have been organized by the Department of Russian, the Amherst Center for Russian Culture, the Department of Political Science, and Amherst’s Model UN Club. I hope you will join these conversations and benefit from hearing from some of Amherst‘s most knowledgeable scholars. (The Department of Russian and the Amherst Center for Russian Culture will announce additional events in the coming days.)
To say that this is an extremely difficult time, especially for those in our community with family and friends in the region, would be a vast understatement. I hope all of you are taking good care of yourselves and also of one another.
