The destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina shocked us by the breadth of widespread tragedy. UC has responded on a variety of fronts. (See http://www.uc.edu/news/NR.asp?id=3074.)

The fastest way to convert contributions into immediate help for Katrina victims is through checks or cash donations. UC students, faculty and staff are encouraged to make their donation now. The UC Hurricane Katrina Relief Campaign begins today and runs until November 1, 2005. All the money raised will be provided to the Red Cross.

As noted in recent memo from President Zimpher, the University of Cincinnati has partnered with Xavier University, Northern Kentucky University, Thomas More College, Cincinnati State, the College of Mount St. Joseph and Gateway Community College in a coordinated effort to bring relief to those impacted by Hurricane Katrina.

You can participate by sending a check, payable to the University of Cincinnati and noting UC Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund, to Mail Location 0638 or through regular mail to University of Cincinnati, UC Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund, P. O. Box 210638, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45221-0638.

You can also drop off your donation - cash or check - in a sealed envelope marked UC Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund at one of these locations:
