Stone Center for Latin American Studies, Tulane University


September 14, 2005


To Whom It May Concern:

As the Assistant Director and Graduate Advisor of the Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane University, I certify that the following students are currently enrolled as graduate students in good standing with Tulane University and are Fellowship recipients:

Marcelle Beaulieu
Asligul Berktay
Rose Caraway
Suzette Chaumette
Ken Clapp
Stephanie Clark
Megan Donovan
Max Fitzpatrick
Denise Frazier
Adam Frick
Cynthia Garza
Annie Gibson
Allison Goodman
Bethany Illidge
Peter Kee
Xelaju Korda
Aaron Lorenz
Sarah Mariner
Rodrigo Massi
Ryan Mast
Gray Miles
Marcela Montes
Mark Noble
Paloma Parra
Alexzia Plummer
Rebecca Prantner
Bethany Seymour
Robert Speiser
Aurora Villegas-Muriel
Lynn Wilder
Cara Zacks

Each student on Fellowship also receives a stipend normally disbursed over an eight month academic year cycle which begins in late August and ends in late April. The stipend amount is $14,500. It is disbursed directly to the student and is intended to be used towards his/her subsistence and living expenses.

In spite of the disruption caused by Hurricane Katrina, and the relocation of many of our students to other Universities and Colleges throughout the United States, Tulane University will continue to make stipend payments to Graduate Students on Fellowship if such students are continuing with their studies elsewhere.

The Stone Center also has a small number of graduate students who are not on Fellowship, but who maintain full-time enrollment status in the program. These students are:

James Cordova
Maria Gaztambide
Dan Hilliard
Stephen Jacobs
Maureen Long
Margarita Vargas-Betancourt

Should you have any questions about the nature of our Graduate Fellowship Program or should you require a reference for any of the above-mentioned students, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached by email at: rtsclasblog@hotmail.com or by phone at 504-390-1680.

On behalf of the Stone Center for Latin American Studies and Tulane University, I would like to offer you my sincerest thanks for your support of our students during such an unsettling time.

Sincerely,

James D. Huck, Jr., Ph.D.

STONE CENTER FOR LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES
GRADUATE STUDENT INFORMATION SURVEY

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

The Stone Center Administration directly responsible for the graduate program has been in communication and has been discussing all the issues relevant to your status as a Tulane University Graduate Student. We are very much aware of the need to resolve some of the more pressing issues facing you: registration and enrollment in other institutions, financial considerations (stipends, fellowships), and contact information.

We want to assure you that we are doing our very best to clarify all of these issues. In the meantime, we need to centralize our efforts and begin to compile some centralized data on the Tulane LAST Graduate Student diaspora. The following survey is an effort to begin this process. Even if you have already made contact with us, we are asking you to please take the time to complete the following survey.

For the moment, we would like to make a couple of clarifying points:

1. We want to assure you that we will make every accommodation with regard to credit transfers and other academic program issues. We do not suspect that there will be any problems in this regard as long as we are kept abreast and informed of your plans and can give you guidance accordingly.

2. There are many questions that remain with regard to the Graduate School’s policies in these circumstances, especially regarding financial matters. Please read the following items carefully:

A. TUITION COSTS / PROGRAM FEES: Since tuition is generally waived for graduate students on fellowship, we imagine that the University will NOT reimburse students for the costs of tuition at other institutions since they do not have to pay tuition at Tulane. However, given the extraordinary circumstances, we are not exactly sure what the policy is with regard to this matter and whether the University will reimburse you, or will pay other institutions directly, for any tuition costs or fees that you may be assessed, or loans that you may obtain to pay for such tuition costs/fees. Please take this under consideration as you make your plans. Until we receive specific information from the University regarding this matter, the Stone Center cannot guarantee you that your tuition outlays will be reimbursed.

B. STIPENDS: It is my understanding that the University will continue to disburse stipend to graduate students (see http://tulane.edu/paystatus.html); however, the details of such disbursements remain unclear. Until we receive further clarification, we would assume that only students who are enrolled in courses at another institution whose credits can be transferred to Tulane will be allowed to receive the stipend. Any student who collects a stipend intended to support continued graduate study but who does not study during the stipend period will likely not be issued a stipend or, if stipends are disbursed, may be required to refund the university for these payments.

C. FLAS FELLOWSHIPS: The Tulane University Graduate School waives tuition costs for its FLAS fellows, and so its FLAS fellowship grants are used exclusively to fund stipends. Therefore, any Tulane University FLAS fellows should not assume that their FLAS fellowships will cover the costs of tuition and fees at other institutions. FLAS fellows should inform their host institutions of this situation and should make sure that your contact person at the host institution be in direct contact with Jimmy Huck (rtsclasblog@hotmail.com) for clarification as soon as possible.

3. The Stone Center is ultimately committed to doing everything in its power and within its means to make sure that its graduate students work through this uncertain and difficult process so that your graduate experience is as smooth and as problem free as possible. To that end, we will promise to work hard on your behalf and to negotiate all details with other institutions and with the relevant units of the Tulane University administration to the best of our abilities. We ask that you be in constant communication with us. Every question or concern that you have, no matter how insignificant you think it may seem, is vitally important to us. We want to hear from you and to ensure that you are doing well and are secure in your decisions. We also ask that you be patient and understanding as we work through these issues.



SURVEY INSTRUCTIONS
Please complete the following survey and send it to Jimmy Huck (rtsclasblog@hotmail.com), Tom Reese (treese@majordojo.com), and Valerie McGinley Marshall (valeriemcginley@gmail.com) as soon as possible. NOTE: Please make sure to send it to all three of us.

Hello Friends and fellow survivors,

As most of you know, Franny (my cat) and I are in Arizona at my mom's house. I am doing ok but still experiencing frequent bouts of despair at what has happened, and is still happening, to the people of New Orleans and to the whole city. I am still exhausted, overwrought, and overwhelmed. I don't know what I will do yet (school? job? where to live?). I am just grateful to be warm, dry, and fed and that I have so many resources to draw from. So many are not so lucky - as we have all seen.

I have new numbers now:
Cell - 520 236 3293
Home - 520 432 9123 (this number will be active starting tomorrow morning, Monday)

Please be in touch!!

Syracuse University to open its doors to Tulane students in aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
In response to a request to University officials from the Association of American Universities (AAU), Syracuse University will accept any enrolled Tulane student wishing to come to Syracuse, at no charge, on a temporary basis. SU will offer these services to Tulane students until Tulane University reopens.

According to Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor, SU’s commitment to the Tulane University community will be an ongoing one, and may include organizing teams of SU’s students to help restore the Tulane campus at some future date.

Cantor adds that SU will be working through the AAU to provide special assistance to the students, faculty and staff of Tulane University, and that SU is more than willing to make similar offers to students at other affected institutions.

The University has established the following contact numbers for Tulane students and students from other schools in the hurricane-affected region:
· Tulane students wishing to take classes at SU should contact Bea Gonzalez, Dean of University College, at (315) 443-3259.
· The University’s grant preparation and research facilities will be available to faculty members and graduate students from Tulane. Those interested should contact Gina Lee-Glauser at (315) 443-1824.

The University’s study abroad facilities in London, Madrid, Strasbourg and Florence are available to Tulane students who can provide their own transportation. Tuition will be free of charge. For additional information about study abroad opportunities, contact Daisy Fried at (800) 235-3472.


Cornell to admit displaced Tulane students and faculty
ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell University President Hunter R. Rawlings announced today the university's decision to open its doors to students and faculty of Tulane University, which was closed due to devastating damage sustained from Hurricane Katrina.

Johns Hopkins Response to Hurricane Katrina
Information for Students from Katrina-affected Colleges and Universities:

Johns Hopkins is preparing to provide educational opportunities for students of Gulf Coast institutions that will not be able to reopen this semester. Undergraduate students whose home institutions will close for the fall semester may apply to the university's Krieger School of Arts and Sciences or Whiting School of Engineering for admission as visiting students.

On a space-available basis, the two schools will accept a limited number of visiting students for the fall semester. We will give priority to students from the Baltimore area. Visiting students must meet Johns Hopkins admissions standards. The Johns Hopkins fall semester begins on Thursday, Sept. 8, and we anticipate that Gulf Coast institutions will have declared their intentions by then. A visiting student application and additional information are available online. The usual deadline and application fee are waived for this emergency program.

Potential applicants should note that:

Some fall semester courses at Johns Hopkins have already reached maximum enrollment.

Students accepted as visiting students under this emergency program will not be billed for tuition until the end of the fall semester, with the expectation that they will — by that time — have received tuition refunds from their home institutions.

The Johns Hopkins Student Financial Services office will keep track of Education Department requirements and waivers and help accepted visiting students file the proper paperwork for federal financial aid. The office will also work with accepted students on other alternatives for financing their Johns Hopkins tuition.

There currently is no university-owned housing available for the fall semester.

Admission as a visiting student does not constitute a transfer to Johns Hopkins. Visiting students will be expected to return to their home colleges and universities when those institutions reopen.
