CLASnotes
After the Storm

Many UF and CLAS units lent a helping hand to the victims of Hurricane Katrina by gathering more than 3,700 pounds of non-perishable food, bottled water, diapers, baby formula and personal hygiene items for America's Second Harvest Food Bank. Organized by zoology department senior secretary Vitrell Sherif, nearly $8,000 in supplies were donated, and zoology staff, students and faculty loaded the truck, which made its way to parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
