Hammonds echoed the messages of House administrators in her email later in the evening, encouraging students to send their resident deans the names of Harvard affiliates present at the Boston Marathon, as well as to utilize House administrators and MHS as resources if “struggling with [the] incident.”
In an interview with The Crimson, Undergraduate Council President Tara Raghuveer ’14 praised students for working together to confirm that their peers who had been at the marathon were safe.
“I hope that we can learn as a community from these tragic incidents and improve communications in the future,” she said.
