Michigan responds to Hurricane Katrina

<p>In addition to holding fundraisers for the victims of the hurricane, Michigan is offering temporary admissions to students who cannot attend the schools they're enrolled in. The press release reads, </p>

<p>"We are working with the Association of American Universities to assist students from other universities who have been displaced by the storm. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions has already received several inquiries from students hoping to continue their studies at Michigan until classes can resume at their own universities, and we want to do all we can to assist within our available resources and based on what is in the best interest of the students. Please contact Director of Undergraduate Admissions Ted Spencer at 647-0102 or <a href="mailto:tsz@umich.edu">tsz@umich.edu</a> <a href="mailto:tsz@umich.edu">tsz@umich.edu</a> if you are aware of such an inquiry, and he will coordinate the necessary follow up on an individual basis."</p>

<p>I think this is a great idea... pass this along to any students from Alabama or Mississippi who may have been affected.</p>
