Our hearts go out to Touro College staff and students who suffered serious damage to their homes from Hurricane Sandy and are now struggling to get their lives back on track. In an effort to ease the recovery process, the leadership of Touro College has created a designated fund that will directly benefit victims of the storm. This fund will provide an opportunity to members of the Touro community to help their colleagues as well as our students in this time of crisis. Please make a donation that will provide a measure of support to victims of Hurricane Sandy in our community.
In addition, Touro College has announced a special limited loan program. Touro employees in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut who have been affected by the hurricane may be eligible for an interest free loan. Please direct any inquiries regarding this program to tourocares@gmail.com.
For those experiencing lingering effects from the storm, Touro College is offering a brief number of sessions with clinical staff to our staff and students experiencing difficulty in coping. This service is provided by the Graduate Schools of Psychology and Social Work. To apply for these services please email tourocounseling@gmail.com and our staff will get back to you to schedule an appointment.
The Touro Law Center has established a center to provide referrals, assistance and legal advice for residents and small businesses affected by Hurricane Sandy. The Touro Law Center – Hurricane Emergency Assistance and Referral Team (TLC-HEART) will be staffed by lawyers and law students. Please call the center at 631-761-7198 or email tlcheart@tourolaw.edu to receive assistance from disaster relief-trained students and attorneys who will match resident concerns with referrals to federal, state and local government agencies and private groups offering storm-related assistance.
