HWS RESPONDS

Mission and Purpose

When natural disasters strike, HWS students, faculty and staff pitch in to help. HWS Responds began in 2005 in an effort to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, and continued with efforts to assist people affected by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. We are now committed to assisting in the relief efforts after Hurricane Sandy left so much devastation in her wake. If you'd like to assist, please email serve@hws.edu or call (315) 781-3825.
