Carolina community responds to Haiti disaster.

"The University of South Carolina is a caring institution. Following the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti, our students, faculty, and staff quickly began looking for ways to assist the people there. One student e-mailed me to say that 'such natural phenomena can happen anywhere in the world, and when they do, it's our duty to help.'

And we are. Several student associations, our student affairs office, the School of Medicine and our Office of Communications, to name just a few, are working to coordinate USC's response to the tragedy that has struck Haiti.

The university also will begin collecting donations that will be directed to Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti. Details on how to donate will be posted on the Office of Community Service as soon as they are available.
Visit www.sa.sc.edu/communityservice.

We will continue to advise what steps the University is taking and how our USC family may share in the effort, hoping that Haiti may be spared any further anguish."
