The USMMA Parents page talks about the purpose of the Alert system: "In order to keep parents informed about developing situations at the Academy, we have also
created a separate Academy Alert System. Messages sent over this system would provide more
general information about emergencies, and direct users to the Academy’s website for more
details."
It likely was envisioned as a 'crisis/response' or 'urgent news/action required' delivery mechanism.
By now, all parents have hopefully received an email from USMMA KP Alumni - Chapter Presidents Alliance and/or the National Chairs of the USMMA Parents Association (likely routed via your state's Parent Association president).
The correspondence is thoughtful, compassionate, and as thorough as the unfolding events allow. I am grateful that they were able to get such complete information out so quickly.
Our hearts ache, and we all want to uplift the family during this time... and her extended family of all Midshipmen and KPers, and every parent who wishes to ease their burden by recognizing and sharing that loss.
The compassionate response for their family, and for the many Midshipmen grieving, is heartwarming .. showing that Administration is handling this situation with great compassion and sensitivity.
Bravo Zulu, KP.
