Over the last few days there have been a number of wonderful individuals who have posted reflections, prayers, messages of support, and hopes for healing over the housing policy here at Columbia. Because of the attention this issue has garnered, I felt it would important for there to be a location where we could find these messages. With the permission of the authors I am posting links to these blogs where you can read, share, and offer your own feedback. 

I am continuously thankful for every person who has come to the table to take part in this important discussion. We still have a lot of work left to do, but I am beginning to find hope amidst the pain. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
