“Thank you as always for your compassionate spirit and generosity
towards those in need. Tragedies like Hurricane Harvey tend to
bring out the best in others and your heartfelt response is clear
evidence of that.”

Michael L. Evans

As we wait and anticipate the needs of Hurricane
Harvey victims please know that there are multiple

places available for monetary donations if you
choose to do so.

The School of Nursing has many members
effected by this situation and we certainly want
to assist as we can and will be working with HSC
