> I would first like to thank all the students, faculty, and staff who  
> worked with the Tulane students to help them reunite with their  
> families, or for those who had no place to go, to help them find  
> housing near our campus.  We are continuing to assist the community  
> and the victims of this disastrous hurricane.
> 
> Later today the Alexander Memorial Coliseum will serve as a temporary  
> evacuation center for several hundred refugees from the hurricane- 
> affected areas.  All shelters between New Orleans and Atlanta are at  
> capacity.  The Red Cross contacted me last night and asked for  
> assistance.  Georgia Tech's mission is education, research and  
> service.  It is now time to serve.  Victims of the storm began  
> arriving at the Coliseum around noon today.  This effort is being  
> coordinated and completely sponsored by the Red Cross.  Please do not  
> take donations to the Coliseum.  Contact the Red Cross for volunteer  
> and donation information.  On campus, the Office of Community Service  
> in Student Affairs is coordinating volunteer efforts.  Please contact  
> the Office of Community Service at 404-894-2200 to sign up to  
> volunteer for a shift at the Colisuem.  You can also check their Web  
&gt; site at <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.service.gatech.edu";>http://www.service.gatech.edu</a> for updates.
&gt; 
&gt; Also, we will continue to offer support to our students who have  
&gt; families in the Gulf Coast area.  As they need to contact family, go  
&gt; home, or whatever is needed, we will support these students and our  
&gt; alumni in these areas.
&gt; 
&gt; Georgia Tech is also doing everything we can to accept students from  
&gt; universities that have been closed due to the hurricane and  
&gt; associated flood waters.  The Board of Regents has set guidelines for  
&gt; accepting these students to University System of Georgia colleges and  
&gt; universities.  Assistance and support will be offered at various  
&gt; levels with regard to financial aid, tuition, and other  
&gt; accommodations.  Already, we have accepted seven students to Georgia  
&gt; Tech who were qualified and needed a place to continue their education.
&gt; 
&gt; This is a time for compassion and support.  As always, we have the  
&gt; best students in the nation and these students have stepped up to the  
&gt; plate with a fundraising drive to raise $50,000 for victims of  
&gt; Katrina.  When you see our students around campus with their buckets,  
&gt; I urge you to give generously.  There is much need and much that  
&gt; needs to be done.
&gt; 
&gt; Again, thank you for all of your heroic efforts.
&gt; 
&gt; G. Wayne Clough
&gt; President
&gt; Georgia Institute of Technology
