PRC Sends our Sympathy to Victims and Families Affected by Bombing at the Boston Marathon
The PRC staff and board are horrified by the bombing yesterday at the Boston Marathon finish line. This act of terrorism goes to the heart of our mission to create an open, creative, and educated community. While it may be days or weeks before we know the perpetrators of this cowardly act, today we extend our heartfelt concern to those directly and indirectly affected. In the days and weeks ahead, the PRC will do our best to join with other institutions of culture and higher education to continue to uphold the best of what the greater Boston area offers to its citizens.
