Supporting the international student community amidst ongoing unrest in Bangladesh

Dear Terps,

Recently, Bangladesh has experienced a wave of political turmoil. What began as a peaceful student protest to reform the quota system has evolved into a broader national concern, capturing international attention.

The University of Maryland, College Park Graduate Student Government (GSG) stands with the Bangladeshi members of the UMD community who are affected by this tragic situation, both directly and indirectly. We support the right of students to peacefully protest. At the same time, we condemn vandalism and brutality.

The GSG Executive Board, on behalf of the Graduate Student Government at UMD, recognizes the deep impact this violence has had on our community, with students mourning the loss of their loved ones. Our hearts go out to our fellow Terps, as well as their friends and family in Bangladesh, during this distressing time.

Sincerely,

The Executive Board of the Graduate Student Government

University of Maryland
