Moving Ahead in Haiti

Moving Ahead in Haiti. Now that the immediate shock of the earthquake has subsided, the real work of rebuilding the nation is slowly taking shape. As we mentioned in previous post, UDC has taken its first steps to identify a course of action that the university will undertake to support the Haitian people and create a foundation for a stronger, more stable society. The Haitian Earthquake Disaster Task Force is developing an action plan that governs everything from managing a semester-long fund-raising drive to collaborating with the state university of Haiti, sending key UDC faculty and staff members to work with relief missions already on the ground and facilitating connections between the campus community and orphaned children. Details for these and other initiatives are still to be worked out, but the goal is to establish a long-term relationship that benefits all parties.
