Chaplain offers thoughts on carrying on in the wake of Friday's tragedy
Interfaith Chaplain Andrea Thompson McCall has said that, given the timing in final exam week at USM, there will be no organized prayer service or vigil in response to the tragic shooting of 26 children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. She extends her availability and that of other Chaplains and Advisors in the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life, and has offered support and encouragement in a letter sent to campus listservs, and posted on the Religious and Spiritual Life web site.
