On August 25, 2005 the Gulf Coast was hit by one of the countries most devastating hurricanes. The effects of both Hurricane Katrina and Rita will be felt for years to come. Community Outreach is committed to assisting the regions in their clean up efforts and rebuilding efforts. Due to the rapid changes in the area, the exact location of the trip will depend on our community partners down south. Efforts will include clean up efforts and possibly rebuilding efforts.

The group will travel down in a charter bus and will sleep in dormitory style setting. All expenses are covered with the basic program cost.

To sign up for a relief trip:

  • Bring completed form to Community Outreach in Room 302 of the Student Union as soon as it's completed. Forms will be accepted until the trip is full. Forms are accepted on a first come first serve basis.
