Dean McCartney's Letter to the Community on Haiti

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to many of you, we have been able to reach out to those in our community who have been affected by the earthquake in Haiti. Although we do not know of any Ed School students, faculty, or staff who were in Haiti at the time of the quake, several members of our community, including family of staff members and two alums, live in Port-au-Prince. We will keep them, and all those affected by this tragedy, in our thoughts and prayers as we hope for positive news.

Some of you have asked about how to make a donation to a relief effort. Our students are organizing to send donations to Partners in Health, a local organization that is well established in Haiti and has close ties to the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health. In addition, the following link provides a comprehensive list of aid organizations supporting the relief efforts

Thank you, again, for letting me know about those among us who are most affected by this tragedy. Please continue to let me know of others who may come to your attention.

Best,

Kathy
