Students impacted by Hurricane Katrina will be able to continue their education this semester at ¾¨Ó㴫ý, a private, church-related liberal arts college in New Wilmington, Pa.
¾¨Ó㴫ý 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 ¾¨Ó㴫ý 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 ¾¨Ó㴫ý President R. Thomas Williamson. "We are close to capacity on campus, but will welcome the new students with open arms and hearts."
¾¨Ó㴫ý is working with the Presbyterian Association of Colleges and Universities and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance on additional ways to help.
Numerous ¾¨Ó㴫ý student organizations and support staff are also organizing activities to assist those in need, according to ¾¨Ó㴫ý Chaplain the Rev. James Mohr. Contact Mohr for additional information at mohrjr@westminster.edu or (724) 946-7116.
