LEHIGH'S RESPONSE TO THE EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI

NEWS AND RESOURCES


Message from President Gast on tragic events in Haiti

Dear students, staff, and faculty,

The magnitude of the destruction and human suffering in Haiti has shocked the world. I know the sympathy of the Lehigh community goes out to the thousands affected by this tragedy, and that we wish the best to those working to alleviate the suffering.

I know many in the Lehigh community will want to help. Our Community Service Office has listed a number of relief organizations that are collecting funds for earthquake victims. Links to those organizations can be found at http://www.lehigh.edu/~inserve/

I encourage members of the Lehigh community to support the relief efforts, and to keep those who have been so deeply affected by this tragic event in your thoughts.

Alice Gast
