MU Offers Assistance for Hurricane Victims
By Christian Basi
COLUMBIA, Mo. - In response to urgent requests received from students attending Gulf Coast universities temporarily closed by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, University of Missouri-Columbia officials are offering assistance on a case-by-case basis.
These students may temporarily attend MU classes on a part-time or full-time basis, or they may take distance education courses. University officials also are identifying current MU students whose homes are in the areas affected by the hurricane to determine what support we can provide to them.
MU officials will be providing information to the campus community on various relief efforts for hurricane victims.
For additional information, students or parents should call 573-882-7786.
