I am writing to extend my deepest condolences to Mr. Collier's family, friends, and fellow officers. I am an MIT alumna who worked closely with the wonderful campus police and the MIT administration many years ago as the student liaison on a task-force to launch the saferides transport service that is still in existence today. The campus police were wonderful partners then and still are today, risking their lives every day to protect the Institute and its constituents. My thoughts and prayers are with this brave officer's family, with his fellow officers, and with the entire MIT campus.

I am the father of a junior at the Institute. The events of this last week have stunned our little world and the world at large. It was with great sadness that my son, a junior at the institute, and I, followed the story throughout the night of April 18th, connected by telephone. I am struck by the honorable resolve and the dedication to duty demonstrated by Officer Collier, a truly admiral man. The institute, the students and their parents will be forever indebted to honor his memory. On behalf of two very touched and grateful parents, I offer my sincere condolences.

Deepest condolences to Sean's family, friends, and colleagues, after this awful turn of events. I'm sure I'm like many other alumni who feel a deep connection to Boston and to Cambridge and to all of the good people at MIT, and who are at a loss for what to do with the overwhelming emotions. My heart goes out to you and I wish you all the best as you begin to heal after this unimaginable loss.

MIT is an urban campus, exposed to the many positive, and negative, influences that that entails. But as a student, I always felt safe at MIT due to the vigilance of the campus police. I cannot adequately express my appreciation for the sacrifice made by Officer Collier in protecting the MIT community. My deepest condolences to his family and his many friends.

May our Lord grant peace to Officer Collier's family, and merciful justice to those who'd perpetrate such a miss-guided act.

It is with profound sadness and great pride in this American Hero, the Spirit of this Country shown in his face and Unfailing Sense of Duty in his Body, Officer Collier gave his life, just like other Americans did so many years ago, not far away, to begin this revolution that we so take for granted, it is this thought and promise he so justly served. May God Bless Him, His Family, and the MIT Community, he so loyally served.
