AUT offers support for students from Norway

AUT University has offered support to AUT students and staff affected by the tragedy in Norway over the weekend.

"I am sure that we are all shocked and dismayed at the violent events that have devastated the Norwegian people this weekend. On behalf of the University I extend our deepest and sincerest sympathies to all our Norwegian staff and students. Our thoughts will be with them as their nation mourns and as we share the human experience of such an appalling tragedy," says AUT Vice-Chancellor Derek McCormack.

AUT understands that many students are worried about the safety of their families and friends, and will be trying to make contact with them. Students can contact the AUT services below for advice.
