Dear Case Community,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to our fellow Americans whose lives have been changed so cruelly by Hurricane Katrina. Here on campus, many hundreds of miles away, we express our sympathy and support to our alumni, faculty, students, and staff who live or have family in the area. More than 50 of our students come to us from the region caught in the storm's broad path. Our staff is working with these students to help them through this terrible time.
We are thinking as well of the colleges and universities in the affected region, including Tulane University in New Orleans, whose president is our friend and former longtime dean of the Weatherhead School of Management, Scott Cowen. Scott and his family are safe. Case and other universities are working together to help Tulane's students.
We can all help the people in the region by contributing through the many relief channels and providing personal support to those we know and their families. We can help further by letting this national disaster be a reminder of the preciousness of life, and allowing that understanding to guide us in our actions toward our fellow human beings.
Very truly,
Edward M. Hundert, M.D.
President
Case Western Reserve University
