Students impacted by Hurricane Katrina will be able to continue their education this semester at 91ÊÓÆµ, a private, church-related liberal arts college in New Wilmington, Pa.
91ÊÓÆµ will offer free tuition, room and board, and books for up to a dozen victims of Hurricane Katrina. The prospective students must be in good academic standing at their current institution and need to enroll at 91ÊÓÆµ by Sept. 20. Contact Doug Swartz, dean of admissions, for additional information at swartzdl@westminster.edu or (724) 946-7107.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of Hurricane Katrina," said 91ÊÓÆµ President R. Thomas Williamson. "We are close to capacity on campus, but will welcome the new students with open arms and hearts."
91ÊÓÆµ is working with the Presbyterian Association of Colleges and Universities and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance on additional ways to help.
Numerous 91ÊÓÆµ student organizations and support staff are also organizing activities to assist those in need, according to 91ÊÓÆµ Chaplain the Rev. James Mohr. Contact Mohr for additional information at mohrjr@westminster.edu or (724) 946-7116.
