ALABAMA STATE UNIVERSITY SETS UP HURRICANE RELIEF PROGRAM
Supports students and others affected by Hurricane Katrina
Montgomery, AL
Alabama State
University today announced a program of services
designed to assist college students and others affected by Hurricane Katrina.
The University is offering students displaced by the tragedy an opportunity to
continue their studies at ASU, counseling for current students affected and has
also established a relief fund for the ASU community to donate funds and dry
goods for relief support. An ASU Hurricane Relief Office has been established
in the Joe L. Reed Acadome room w-330.
"This tragedy has reached biblical proportion and we must reach
out to our neighbors and offer every resource we can to help those
affected," said Dr. Joe A. Lee,
president. "As a member of the National Association for Equal
Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) we must reach out to our sister
institutions affected and help them continue the mission and charge of
educating students. Our hearts go out to the faculty, administration,
students, and staff of these institutions and to all the families, who find
themselves displaced and facing enormous burdens."
Many universities in southern Louisiana,
Alabama and Mississippi have suffered extensive damage
from the hurricane and flooding, and are not expected to reopen until next
semester at the earliest.
Alabama State
University will accept any affected student as a transfer
student for this semester. Housing and registration will be made available to
these students.
ASU’s Student Affairs and Academic Affairs officials are working
out arrangements on the assumption that many of these students will not have
transcripts and other key information immediately available. The Office of
Student Affairs has set up a counseling desk for approximately 300 ASU students
who have been directly or indirectly affected by the displacement of their
family. The desk is housed in C. J. Dunn Tower on the campus of Alabama State
University.
In an effort to further assist those affected, the University has
established the ASU Hurricane Relief Fund and a dry good collection post.
Beginning today faculty, staff, students and the community at large are asked
to contribute to this relief effort. Monetary donations may be made to a
special hurricane relief account established at the ASU cashier’s office
in the administration building in Council Hall. Dry goods can be dropped off at
the Joe L. Reed Acadome from 8 until 5 daily. A University day of collection
will be held on the ASU campus on Wednesday, September 7 from 9 in the morning
until 5 pm at the Acadome.
"Many of the organizations at ASU have expressed their concern for
the victims and have asked how they can help," said President Lee.
"We all want to pitch in and do what is right and what we can. I ask each
of you to donate, to volunteer, or provide dry goods to this program. It is our
hope that these coordinated efforts will make a difference for our students and
their families affected as well as others".
ASU continues to research resources that can be made available to
victims of this terrible tragedy and will work with State officials to offer
support.
