The incidents, according to university chancellor Randy Woodson, were “heartbreaking,” he said in a statement to students Thursday afternoon. He wrote: “Please take good care of yourselves, keep an eye on each other and be aware of those around you who may need help. Don’t be afraid to step in if you think a friend is having trouble, and please don’t feel embarrassed if you have difficulties,” pointing students in the direction of helpful options, such as a free teletherapy service and the college counseling center, NBC reported.
