Press Release; Seattle U's response to tragedy in Haiti

SEATTLE, Thursday, January 14, 2010 -- Father Sundborg, President of Seattle University has recently sent out an email to all students, faculty, staff and friends urging them to live Seattle U's mission and help in any way that they can concerning the catastrophe in Haiti.

Sean Bray, Social Justice Minister in Campus Ministry, has been appointed as the coordinator for all help-relief efforts in the community. Any questions and concerns or ideas should contact Bray at brays@seattleu.edu.

Sundborg provides several ways that the community can rally together and offer support. He writes that we can respond educationally, humanly and spiritually--and that "each of us can respond in our own personal way unique to us and we can support one another at this time as a community."

Sundborg closes the email by giving dates when mass will be in session and that all donations will go directly to Catholic Relief Services as well as Jesuit Refugee Service. The president is also working with Gonzaga University to unite both Jesuit institutions in the midst of this tragedy and to keep the Jesuit faith alive.
