Binghamton University has reached out to a number of Tulane University students who had expressed interest in Binghamton during their college search process and who have been displaced due to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The University will work with them one by one to admit and enroll them for the fall semester. The University will continue its outreach efforts, which align with Acting Chancellor Ryan’s request that all SUNY colleges and universities assist in this effort. 45 students have accepted the offer of enrollment. 37 have arrived on campus and the other 8 should be here by the end of the week. Some of these students just got out of New Orleans this Saturday; meaning that they endured a week of floods, lack of power, limited water and food, looting, and utter devastation. They are happy to be here but as would be expected, need additional assistance and reassurances. Most of these students have come to Binghamton with few supplies/clothes. The University is doing what it can to assist these students with some of their needs and will have a targeted fund drive to assist them with replacement items.
