UK Universities Rally Support for Wuhan Amid COVID-19 Crisis

Over 50 UK universities have united to send heartfelt messages of solidarity to Wuhan and the Chinese mainland during the coronavirus pandemic. Professors, students, and administrators—including leaders like University of Essex Vice-Chancellor Anthony Forster—pledged to offer \"any assistance\" to support affected communities.

With 1 in 3 non-EU students in the UK coming from China, the connection runs deep. \"We’ve been watching the situation with concern,\" said Simon Bradbury of De Montfort University, reflecting the academic community’s global bond.

This cross-border collaboration highlights how education bridges cultures—even in tough times. Whether it’s virtual resources or moral support, universities are proving that #StrongerTogether isn’t just a hashtag.
