On behalf of the UO administration, faculty, staff and students, the Office of International Affairs wishes to express our entire community's sincere condolences at the passing of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud of Saudi Arabia.

At this difficult time of national transition, our thoughts and prayers are with our Saudi students, as well as our Saudi faculty and staff and our alumni, academic partners, and friends in the Kingdom.

In the days and weeks ahead we will work in collaboration with Saudi and international student leaders to support members of our community affected by this important transition on the world stage.

With sincere condolences,

Dennis Galvan
Vice Provost for International Affairs
