out to our neighbors and offer every resource we can to help those
affected," said Dr.

ASU’s Student Affairs and Academic Affairs officials are working
out arrangements on the assumption that many of these students will not have

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.
