We know the news from Iran and the wider region will affect many of our students and we want you to know that we are here at LUSU to help you in whatever way we can.
Our students from Iran and across the wider region are members of our diverse community at Lancaster and our support at LUSU is always available to all of you at what must be a very worrying time.
