PR: Well, I am sure that those individuals will never forget the time that they’ve spent here at Hunter just as the Coopermans never forgot their time here. That showed us that the care of the future really is ours. We raised about a hundred thousand dollars to support our own students and some emergency grants to our faculty and staff who had real financial need. In addition, we hosted faculty and staff members who also lost their homes or had great damage. Then, we had six hundred students who were in our Brookdale dorms, and we were able to find emergency housing for probably about a hundred of them over the following few months. Hurricane victims took over every inch of Hunter College’s main campus, either from the Brookdale Campus or from the homeless in the city. Within hours, we were making plans to relocate our one hundred and sixty classes a week. Our physical therapy programs and the entire nursing and medical lab programs had to be moved. We lost all of the facilities on the campus. So overnight, we realized that this storm was more severe than we expected. A big challenge for us was that our renowned nursing school, which is on Twenty Sixth Street and First Avenue, was totally flooded by Sandy. We even set-up an animal shelter, although I don’t think any animals came. We had many visitors from the city who wanted to work with the people and to help support them. So, we had about two hundred people in our gymnasium. We had committed to the city that we would house a shelter for those displayed from the storm.
