[Vision2020] Katrina Relief Message

[lfalen]

The University of Idaho has launched humanitarian efforts to assist
victims of Hurricane Katrina. As images and stories surface of the
catastrophic effects of the hurricane, we are just beginning to
discover the devastation on communities, families and individuals in
the southeastern U.S. 



The University is immediately accepting students who enrolled or
planned to enroll at universities in the areas affected by the
hurricane. Students will be placed in fall classes with available
space, with first priority given to Idaho residents. They also may
enroll for the January, 2006 semester.  In addition, 10 tuition, fee
and housing scholarships for one year will be offered to any student
whose college career has been interrupted by Katrina. Interested
students may contact UI Admissions Office immediately, (208) 885-
6326.



The University also will collect humanitarian aid via cash, checks,
credit cards and UI payroll deductions. Contributions will be
transferred directly to the American Red Cross. Such fund-raising
efforts will be conducted at all campus sporting and cultural events
throughout the year.



UI student groups have begun to discuss how best to get help to the
hurricane victims. According to Steve Janowiak, director of student
activities and leadership, a number of our student service
organizations and the associated student organization are talking
about how they can help.



You also can make immediate contributions to the American Red 
Cross on
their secure giving site at www.redcross.org. It is clear that our
fellow Americans who have been affected will need the nation's 
help.

          President
