Dear Members of the Brown Community,

As Brown has continued to navigate the federal government's threats to research funding, many faculty, staff and students have asked how our extended community of alumni might help. I am sharing below the communication I sent yesterday to alumni and friends of Brown outlining what is at stake for the University's capacity to fulfill its mission of education and research and encouraging them to visit a new Brunonian Advocacy webpage hosted by the Division of Advancement. 

The page highlights Brown's Research Impact website and invites our alumni to learn more about the transformative impact of Brown research and the available resources for advocating for Brown. As I note in my letter, I continue to be inspired by members of this remarkable and generous community who are committed to supporting Brown.

Sincerely,
