Hello all,

The University of Nevada, Reno is providing a variety of services for students
displaced by Hurricane Katrina who may want to relocate to Reno for their
studies for the long or short term.  My understanding is that there may also be
opportunities for faculty who are displaced from their institutions during this
time of crisis.  Details are listed below this message.

If you know of anyone who might benefit from these opportunities, please forward
this information to them or have them contact me directly at

Thanks so much for whatever help you can provide.
