Tsunami - A Message from Chancellor Carnesale
January 2005
Members of the UCLA Campus Community:
We continue to be shocked and deeply saddened by the devastating
effect of the Indian Ocean tsunami, which has claimed more
than150,000 lives and left millions of people injured and homeless.
We feel this overwhelming loss. UCLA has many ties to this
region of the world, and we want to provide whatever aid and
expertise we can.
Attempts are being made to locate and contact members of the
UCLA family who may have been directly affected by this tragedy.
In addition, UCLA scholars from a number of fields are helping
to shed light on what happened and to alleviate the suffering.
I urge you to lend any assistance you can through the relief
efforts that are underway. Many of those efforts can be accessed
through the links at left, which also provide information on
seminars and other resources at UCLA that may help us to understand
and deal with this horrific humanitarian crisis.
Sincerely,
Albert Carnesale
Chancellor
