> This has been a very difficult week for all of us: the terrible tragedy of Monday's bombing of the Boston Marathon and the impact of that event on many members of our community, followed by the death last night of one of our Campus Patrol officers in the line of duty, and today's closing of campus and the disruptions in the surrounding communities as the search for the remaining suspect continued. Our students are feeling very disrupted, uncertain and concerned; as are all members of the MIT community.
>  
> In light of this, after consulting with the Chair of the Faculty, the Academic and Student Deans, and chairs of faculty committees, we are going to push back Drop Date for this term, from Thursday, April 25th, to Monday April 29th. We understand that this may affect schedules in classes, but we believe that our community needs time to recover and refocus. We appreciate the cooperation of the entire community in adjusting to this new schedule.
>  
> Sincerely,
> Eric Grimson

> Bernard Gordon Professor of Medical Engineering, EECS, MIT
