BU offers support for stranded students

BRANDON, MB - On Friday, September 2nd, the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) was asked by Foreign Affairs Canada to help coordinate universities'responses to the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

According to the American Council on Education, more than 30 colleges and universities are located in the Gulf Coast region and have been severely damaged by the hurricane. The American Council on Education estimates that up to 100,000 students have been displaced.
