Announcements/News
Welcome back everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful break, because now it is time to get back in the books!
The first event of the Spring '06
semester, a program honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., took place
Monday, January 16 @ 7:00 PM in the Davis Hall Theater. The program's keynote
speaker was the wonderful Rev. Carey Casey who delivered an entertaining, yet
moving, and greatly inspiring speech. We thank Rev. Casey for being with
us and delivering such a great message of profound meaning.
Due to the catastrophic
destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, there have been many people and
families unspeakably affected. Our prayers and thoughts are with all who have
been affected by this event. In an effort to help in the Hurricane Katrina
recovery, the African-American Association has set up the Sterling Family
Recovery Fund to aid in the recovery of the family a USAO student who
incurred great loss during the hurricane. If anyone wants to help by placing a
donation, or donating food or clothing, please contact any member of the executive board. Any help or donation
will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
