Organizing support for Haiti

Yesterday's earthquake in Haiti has left many of us bereft and searching for ways to help the victims of this heartbreaking calamity. News reports indicate significant numbers of injuries and casualties and damage to schools, hospitals, homes and government buildings, already fragile from recent hurricanes and consequent flooding.  
 
Given the complex logistics of getting food, clothing and supplies to the island, the College is working with the State Department, county and local relief agencies to determine the best possible course of action. We will share the details with you as soon as they are available.

In this time of tragedy, let us keep our brothers and sisters in Haiti in our thoughts. We will keep you apprised as we learn more about how to support the relief effort.

Thank you.

Eduardo
