STUDENTS OF SANDY - HELP US HELP THEM

Many of our students have had their lives turned upside down by Hurricane Sandy and have lost homes, class supplies and other belongings.  As a result of this, Ai New York City faculty member Denise Lacen has organized SOS (Students of Sandy) to support those students who were severely impacted by the storm. 

The S.O.S. Committee will be collecting blankets, NEW toiletries (toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc.), diapers, baby wipes, infant/toddler clothes, canned and non-perishable food, towels and warm clothes.  Those wishing to contribute may drop off items in the Gallery on the following dates/times:

• Monday, November 12 - 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
• Thursday, November 15 - 3:00 p.m. to 6 p.m.
• Monday, November 19 - 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
• Monday, November 26 - 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
• Thursday, November 29 - 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

If you wish to contribute but cannot make any of the above times, you may drop off items with an Academic Advisor, Department Chair, Katie Nekiunas, Dean Joe Pirrello or Dean Dave Moughalian. 

For those students who have lost school supplies (hard drives, supply kits, etc.)  in the storm, The Art Institutes/EDMC is donating $30,000 in school supplies to assist these individuals.  Impacted students will be asked to fill out an application which is available through all S.O.S. Committee members listed above or Ai New York City faculty members Denise Lacen and Amy Sinclair.

Thank you to Denise Lacen who got the ball rolling!
