Our sympathies go to those who are suffering for lack of power, transportation, and housing and all the other things that have been interrupted or are in short supply. Because our program continues on Monday with a speaker flying in from outside the country, we must now announce this and the other events for November. The first of these is next Monday, November 5. In addition to these events, the Academy is pleased to announce the award solicitations for the William Stewart Travel Awards for new Assistant Professors and the Feliks Gross Award competition for Assistant Professors .

CUNY Academy First Vice President Nora Glickman is handliing the affairs of the Academy in my absence. You can ask to be removed from our mailings by sending a message to cunyacademy(a)gmail.com with the word remove in the subject line.

Project Donate
by Alexandra Crisafi 04 Nov '12

04 Nov '12

Dear QC Professors, As you know, on October 29th, Hurricane Sandy devastated New York City. This storm has tragically left dozens of people dead, and thousands without power or homes to return to. Queens College is currently acting as a shelter (1 of 16 in the county of Queens) for over 500 people who were forced to evacuate their homes. Many of these people, along with countless other New Yorkers, no longer have anything to go back to. Given the magnitude of this storm, recovery will be long and difficult. However, it will become much easier if we band together, opening our hearts and our minds to help those in need. *Project* *Donate* is a campus - wide initiative started by Queens College students, which currently aims to help hurricane victims by collecting donations of all sorts for people of all ages in need. The original goal of Project Donate, set in August of this year, was to collect winter coats and jackets for the LGBTQ homeless population of New York City. We previously had set up boxes during the semester in all major QC buildings to collect these donations. However, since the storm struck, we have seen an increased need for common household items in addition to clothes and coats. A recent trip to Staten Island by Project Donate volunteers revealed the magnitude of this need, as over 300 items that had been collected were all distributed to people within a matter of hours. *How can you help? *We humbly request your help in making our project efforts as efficient as possible. On Monday, November 5th, during free hour, we will hold a meeting in Jefferson 306 (the Jewish Studies Library) to initiate a roundtable discussion on what we can do to help alleviate the suffering of those affected by the storm, as well as create committees and put words into action. We have advertised throughout the campus by flyers and extensive Facebook campaigning, and we would like to reach as many students as possible. Please see our link for more information: www.facebook.com/qcprojectdonate. By informing students about this meeting and about our project and its mission, we essentially come together as a community of student activists and volunteers, enabling positivity onto one another. Donation collections would also grow exponentially by spreading the word about Project Donate to other staff members and departmental heads. Your voice is crucial in making our project a success. We thank you in advance for all of your support. - Alexandra Ninfa Crisafi Director at Project Donate <http://www.facebook.com/qcprojectdonate> Queens College, City University of New York Graduate Student
