Reaching Out to Those Who Have Recently Submitted Names of Deceased and Missing

For the past few months, we have been working to contact those who recently submitted names of those who died or have been missing since Katrina. We would like to take a moment to acknowledge our Columbia University student volunteers who are helping with this effort: Andrea Basche, Michelle Condroy, Nick Dahlheim, Stephanie Goetz, Justin Mankin, Jessica Rosen, Lucy Stowe, and Jennifer Yum. We couldn’t do this without you.

If you are aware of anyone who should be on the List but is not already, please submit their names and any information you can share to: http://www.katrinalist.columbia.edu/.  Thank you.
