Li: "Reach out to those who may be impacted by these tragic events and look for ways to support."

The magnitude of loss and suffering being that the people of Haiti are experiencing this week is difficult to comprehend.

The loss of life in Saint-Louis du Sud as the result of a devastating earthquake and the tropical storm that has hampered rescue efforts breaks my heart.

As a longtime Florida resident, I have come to know Haiti and its people as resilient – but even the strongest of us need support. Today I ask University of Nebraska at Omaha students, faculty, staff, and friends of UNO to reach out to those who may be impacted by these tragic events and look for ways to support.

Sincerely,

Joanne Li, Ph.D., CFA
