This message is being sent to all Faculty, Staff, and Students by Pressroom of University of Washington, with approval of President Mark Emmert.
To all members of the University community:
All of us are stunned at the enormous loss of life and devastation visited upon South Asia by Sunday's earthquake and tsunamis. Many University students, faculty, and staff members have roots or ties in the countries affected Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, and half a dozen others. To those members of our community, I extend deep sympathy and sorrow on behalf of your University friends and colleagues. For you, the grief we all feel is much sharper and more painful. Our hearts go out to you and your families.
As far as we have been able to determine, all UW students, faculty, and staff who are currently in South Asia are safe. For this we are very thankful.
The need for help in the region is huge. Members of the University community have already begun to contribute to relief organizations of their choice to help alleviate suffering around the Indian Ocean. If you wish to contribute, you can find lists of agencies in the local and national papers. Two places to start might be the International Response Fund of the American Red Cross (www.redcross.org) and CARE (www.care.org).
The scale of this disaster is almost beyond comprehension. For all its victims, we at the University of Washington feel profound sympathy.
