DURHAM, N.C. — A group of North Carolina Central University (NCCU) professors, concerned students and community members, will host presentations on Tuesday, April 18, 2006, at 7 p.m. in the McLendon-McDougald Gymnasium on the campus of NCCU. This gathering has been organized to provide information on recent Hurricane Katrina relief and reconstruction efforts, and to commit to the ongoing work of rebuilding those areas devastated by the storm. NCCU’s Student Government President, Renee Clark, will speak on the travels she and several other NCCU students encountered during their spring break to assist in the Katrina cleanup and rebuilding efforts. During the meeting, professors will provide personal perspectives on the catastrophe. Poetry and musicals performances by the NCCU Jazz Band will be dedicated to the people of the Gulf region. NCCU is working on ways to incorporate Katrina relief assistance into the university’s service learning curriculum. In an effort to collect items for the next mission trip, attendees are asked to bring toiletries, toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, sanitary napkins, lotion, deodorant, shaving cream, bottled water, canned vegetables, fruit, meat, beans and dry goods such as pasta, cereal and beans. This event is free and open to the public. For additional information, please contact Bill Gural at (919) 530-5226. |
