I had hoped that we would kick off the Labor Day weekend here at Valemont on a cheerier note, but the events of yesterday are quite disturbing. As some of you may have seen, at approximately 11am yesterday, the Valemont University home page was hacked.

While pranks can be a fun part of college life - such as Aotidae House members reconfiguring the keys Panthera House a few years back - pranks such as yesterday's can severely damage a college's reputation. While the person or persons responsible may think this amusing, here at Valemont we take attacks on our school's character very seriously. We apologize if any students were offended or put off by yesterday's incident, and I promise that we have increased our web security tenfold.

In the meantime, Investigator Loomis will still be on campus today conducting interviews on the Eric Gracen case. We sincerely hope Eric is found safe before school starts, so please assist her in any way possible. If you cannot catch up with her on campus, please make sure to leave her a note on her blog.

Best Regards,

Prof. Blunt
