For those students, faculty and staff who have been affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to you and your families. We would like to make you aware of the following support services that are and continue to be available on campus and in the area.
Evacuee to Evacuee
Evacuees of Hurricane Katrina are invited to a get-together to share their experiences and give support through this program sponsored by Suicide Prevention and Crisis Services. This support group hopes to set a regular meeting time. The first gathering will be held on Thursday, October 6, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm in the community room of Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service at 124 East Court Street, Ithaca. To RSVP and for directions, contact Nancy at RosenN@juno.com or 272-1505 ext. 11.

If you need any support from the Red Cross, please contact Doreen Hettich-Atkins in the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Life at dhettichatkins@ithaca.edu or 274-3374 and she’ll put you in touch with our local Red Cross chapter.
