Haiti Recovery and Florida’s Institutions of Higher Education We care.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones in Haiti. It is estimated that as many as three million people may be affected by the earthquake which hit Haiti on Tuesday, January 12, 2010. More than 1300 SUS students claim Haiti as their home of origin.

In addition to the American Red Cross, Volunteer Florida Foundation, and immediate relief organizations, the students, faculty and staff of the State University System of Florida are involved with helping their fellow Haitians.

The immediate priorities are food, water, shelter, and medical help. International crews and government agencies have been deployed immediately to help with injuries, identification, shelters, water and other catastrophic needs. The best way to help now is for donations to be made to Haitian relief efforts.

In the next few days, we will be listing organizations and institutions that are part of the SUS, as well as taking inventory of available resources and services. Please check back frequently to learn what is being done and how you can help.
