 LSU Dept of Geography and Anthropology in Baton Rouge is offering
assistance to faculty and grad students, anthropologists in the private and
public sector, etc in the Hurricane Katrina area. In addition, LSU is
looking for people to teach classes (now), enrolling students (now,
including this weekend), a medical rescue/treatment center for hurricane
evacuees. (1)To facilitate communication, the Dept of Geography &
Anthropology at LSU is creating a list of names and email addresses to post
on the LSU web page. Please send a current email address and any other
contact information to gachair at lsu.edu (hurricane email directory in subject
line) or call the dept office at 225-578-5942. (2) Our dept will find space
for faculty and grad students and get you linked with computers, library
privileges, and other things to get folks working. (3) On the LSU web page
there is an urgent call, as follows: "Instructors are needed immediately to
teach various classes at LSU. If you are a college professor or instructor
and are available to teach one or more classes, please contact us
immediately at phawkin at lsu.edu. Please include your name, how you can be
contacted, and classes you might be able to teach." (The email address is
Patrice Hawkins). (4) If you are displaced by the hurricane and need a place
to live, see the LSU web site (www.lsu.edu). LSU is coordinating efforts to
accommodate academics. (5) LSU is accepting and enrolling (even this Labor
Day weekend) students.
