It has been one week since a massive earthquake shook the impoverished nation of Haiti into ruin. This tragedy is inexplicable. Through the death, destruction, and chaos the Haitian people have shown their resilience.
Much like the rest of the world, the Seattle University community is finding various ways to respond collectively and individually to provide both tangible and spiritual aid to the people of Haiti.
"...we must respond as individuals and as members of this university with its special commitment to the poor," urged Father Sundborg, President of Seattle University.
President Sundborg has appointed Sean Bray, Social Justice Minister in Campus Ministry, to coordinate and facilitate the university's response. The University has also set up a website that provides a list of organizations for donations, events, and resources to further support the Haitian people. And just today, Seattle University's Engineers without Borders student chapter's water treatment system arrived in Port-au-Prince.
Seattle University is committed to their mission. Seattle University is committed to Haiti.
