Clothing Urgently Needed for NYC Rescue Workers

This message is repeated from earlier today because of its timely nature: Rescue workers in New York City are in dire need of sweatsocks and T-shirts of all sizes because they are required to change their clothing on an hourly basis. The clothing need not be brand new but should be clean. Two campus locations have been established where members of the University community can contribute to this vital effort. Three bins are in Hendricks Chapel and four bins are in the Schine Student Center. Collection will begin immediately and will conclude at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14.

Z89 and Residence Halls Collecting Toiletry Items for Rescue Workers

Beginning Friday, WJPZ-FM (Z89) and the Office of Residence Life will collect toiletries for the Salvation Army to send to those men and women working long hours on scene at the World Trade Center and at the Pentagon. Boxes will be placed in all residence halls and in the Goldstein Student Center on South Campus. Requested donations are toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo-anything that will help those who are far from home to aid the search and rescue efforts. For more information, contact Z89’s Beth Berlin at 443-4689.

Information Sought on Alumni Who May Have Been at the WTC or Pentagon

The Offices of Alumni Relations and Advancement Services are working together closely to gather accurate information about the whereabouts of SU alumni who may be missing or deceased as a result of Tuesday’s tragic events. If you receive notification of the death of an alumnus, please notify the Office of Alumni Relations at 443-3258 or e-mail Lil O’Rourke at eorourke@syr.edu. On a more optimistic note, these offices are also seeking information on alumni who worked at the World Trade Center or the Pentagon who are okay. Efforts are underway to track down the alumni who worked at those locations, and any new information from the University community is helpful.

EAP staff will respond quickly to all requests for counseling services during the workweek and will be on call over the weekend. As the initial trauma of this week’s incidents subsided, it is normal for people to experience some strong emotional and physical reactions that can interfere with regular routines and work performance. EAP staff are available to assist in alleviating any added distress during this difficult time. Helpful information is now available on the EAP Web site, http://sumweb.hrm/eap.
