President Pérez’s letter to the BMCC community.

Dear Members of the BMCC Community,

On behalf of the entire college, I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to all of those affected by the devastating earthquake in Haiti.  Our profound concern and compassion go out to the people in Haiti, those living outside of Haiti and members of the BMCC family personally impacted by this tragedy.

As we have seen over the past week, the disaster in Haiti has caused unfathomable loss of life and threatens the lives of countless others, with near total destruction of that country’s critically needed infrastructure.  As the world mobilizes to provide assistance to the people of Haiti, we are reminded of how interconnected we are as members of a global community and that the tragedy in Haiti impacts us all.

To do our part, BMCC has already started to organize services and outreach efforts to help those affected by this grave human disaster.  Please visit our Haitian Earthquake relief page,  http://www.bmcc.cuny.edu/haiti/, for continued updates and information on ways you can join the compassionate spirit of the BMCC family and contribute to the assistance of the people of Haiti in their time of need.

Sincerely,

Antonio Pérez

President
