Haitian Benefit Dinner

The message below was sent out by President Gee this afternoon. I would encourage everyone to try to attend. If you happen to be there and see me, please come up and say hi. I hope to see you there!


Dear Students and Colleagues:

I write to urge you to support this Monday’s student-led effort to raise money for victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti. All proceeds from the One University, One Cause: Buckeye Benefit Dinner will go to the American Red Cross. Details of the program, including an option for drive-through dinner purchases, are noted below.

As we read and watch the continuing news coverage from Haiti, the scale of the devastation and loss of life has become painfully clear. I have been personally moved by the response of our students, who have effectively combined their compassion, caring, leadership, and great spirit in creating a significant program to help others in need.

Please join me in supporting their good efforts.

Sincerely,

E. Gordon Gee
President
