EMAIL DETAILS

<p>
Dear Junior Parents,</p>
<p>
I know you recently received an email from Mamadou Gueye in regards to yesterday's events but I do feel compelled to send you a short note as well.</p>
<p>
I am truly sorry that the college event placed you and your child in harm's way and that you each had to endure such treacherous conditions for your drive home. Had I been made aware of the possible dangerous conditions earlier that day, I absolutely would have canceled the event. Once I was notified of the weather during the program, I did my best to end the event and express to families my concern about the roadways.</p>
<p>
I am aware that many of you felt my email last night was insensitive and I do want to reiterate that the message had been loaded to the server prior the beginning of the program and I was unable to cancel the message as I, too, was enduring a five hour drive home. </p>
<p>
I do invite you to bring any of your concerns to me as well and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss them with you.</p>
<p>
Wishing you all a safe weekend,</p>
<p>
My best, Lauren</p>
