On 1st of October (2 October in JST), the terrible Las Vegas shooting -said to be the worst of its kind in the modern US history- took place in Las Vegas, Nevada in the U.S.A. My condolences to all the victims and their families and the persons related; my heart-felt sympathies also go to those who have been badly scarred in Las Vegas on that night.
As University of Nevada, Reno, in U.S.A, and Âé¶¹AV concluded an International Exchange Agreement in 2002 and the two universities have been engaged in a wide range of exchanges since then, all the faculty, administrative staff, and the students from Âé¶¹AV are greatly upset by this devastating shooting attack in Las Vegas. Âé¶¹AV is determined to offer as much assistance as possible to those parties affected by the incident.
