UWF stands in solidarity with the Orlando community and members of the UCF community by the tragic events that took place on Sunday morning. Our thoughts and condolences are with all the victims, their families, friends, first responders and others who have been affected.

As Argonauts, we value and celebrate the unique characteristics of each member of our community as well as the commonalities we share.

The Lambda Coalition, a UWF student organization, is partnering with other Pensacola community organizations to host a vigil at Historic Seville Square. If you are interested in attending, please visit the Facebook event online.

The following UWF resources are available for those affected by this event:

Dean of Students Office: The Dean of Students Office staff is available to all students who need assistance. Visit uwf.edu/deanofstudents, call 850.474.2384 or email deanofstudents@uwf.edu.

Counseling & Psychological Services: UWF Counseling & Psychological Services is available to provide free counseling to students. You can also visit their website for links to online resources at uwf.edu/counseling. For an appointment, contact 850.474.2420. Counseling & Psychological Services also offers 24 hour emergency services after hours by calling the appointment line and asking to speak to the counselor on call.  Counseling and Psychological Services will be creating additional appointment times this week so that anyone impacted by the Orlando tragedy can be seen quickly.

We encourage you to continue supporting one another and those in our community who may have been affected.
