An ecumenical service of prayer and remembrance will be held at noon today at St. Paul's Chapel as the University campus slowly returns to normal operations.

Classes are being held today at Columbia, although there may be some classes that cannot be held because an individual faculty member is unable to reach campus or there may be other circumstances that make it impossible for certain classes to be meet. Students can check http://www.columbia.edu/cu/registrar/cancelled_classes.htm for information about cancelled classes.

The campus remains on security alert. Counselors from Counseling and Psychological Services (854-2878) and Residential Life as well as members of the deans' offices and many other administrators continue to be available to work with students.

The Counseling and Psychological Services website provides a listing of special counseling service hours. Columbia Health Sciences website provides Stress Management Information.
