I want to thank Dean Ronald Brown. We were all affected deeply by what happened; whether you were close to the actual shooting or not. Dean Brown left his office and checked on every floor in our building about an hour after we were told to lockdown. I hope he knows his actions meant a lot, and it was very brave of him to leave his office and check on us. I am so grateful to work here where caring about people comes as second nature. Thank you Dean Brown, your kindness will never be forgotten.
