Haiti Relief Initiative
A message from President John Bassett and Provost David Angel
Last week's earthquake in Haiti has touched our community and reminded us that the world as we know it can change in an instant. On behalf of the Clark community, we offer our deepest condolences to the people of Haiti and all those who lost loved ones, or were affected by this tragedy in one way or another.
One urgent and immediate need is financial support. We provide below a partial list of aid organizations that are accepting contributions online. The challenges and needs will last for weeks, months and years. In the coming days, we will initiate a dialogue on campus around the ways in which Clark University may best assist the people of Haiti, both now and in the future.
The campus community will shortly be receiving an invitation to an open meeting to discuss our Haiti Relief Initiative. This open meeting will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, January 25th in Tilton Hall, Higgins University Center.
John Bassett, President
David Angel, Provost
