| It's been a busy few weeks as our university community pulled together to aid the City of Denton and the American Red Cross in providing an emergency evacuee center for those affected by Hurricane Rita. The center opened at noon Sept. 23, and during the first weekend, nearly 80 people were housed at our Mean Green Village, a 19-acre addition to the campus that was purchased from Liberty Christian School in 2004. All of those individuals left the center before the newest evacuees arrived Monday. Currently, about 100 residents from Beaumont are at the shelter. UNT staff members worked hard to prepare the facility and its grounds, ensuring that the gymnasiums were safe and hospitable. Mattresses with linens and pillows were set up, and each guest was given a bag of personal toiletries. Meals are being provided, and guests also have access to our computers and telephones. UNT also worked with the North Texas Animal Rescue Alliance to open a pet evacuee center nearby. The pet center, which is being operated by nearly 100 volunteers from 21 rescue groups across North Texas, has housed nearly 40 pets, including a 12-foot boa constrictor, a bearded dragon lizard, a parrot and cats and dogs. In addition, as a result of our response to Hurricane Katrina last month, we enrolled about 100 students who were displaced from New Orleans universities. UNT provided office space, as well as access to computers, e-mail and libraries, to four faculty members from affected areas so that they could continue their professional work. Our community also collected more than $32,000 to help those affected. I'm extremely proud of the students, faculty, staff and volunteers who worked around the clock to help those in need during this recovery period.
