Many in the University community are pitching in to help bring relief to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. In addition to fund-raising activities, the University will accept some displaced students on a visiting, non-degree-seeking basis and will also offer library privileges and work space to graduate students and scholars who need a place to work. “As we move into the days following the devastating natural disaster in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, it becomes clear to me how very interconnected we all are,” Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton said. “Many here at Washington University have been touched in some way by Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath of the storm. Those directly affected have had a life-altering experience.” For more on the University’s response to this tragedy, go online to communityservice.wustl.edu/hurricanerelief.
