Video of the January 21 Campus-Community Forum and Call to Action
"Decoding Disaster: Understanding the Haiti Earthquake of 2010," was held on the evening of January 21, 2010 at Indiana University's Memorial Union. The campus-community forum and call to action brought together faculty, staff, students, and community members interested in exploring the causes and consequences of this major natural disaster. It provided information and perspective about historical, political, cultural, environmental, and economic realities in Haiti, both pre and post-earthquake. After the presentations, there were announcements of ongoing activities through which the public could help. Presenters included faculty members, students, and members of the Caribbean community in Bloomington. Stream the video live at:

Message from the Provost
We have all seen images of the great suffering and devastation that resulted from the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12. The members of the entire Indiana University community extend their heartfelt sympathies to all who have suffered loss. A number of Indiana University students, faculty, and staff have close ties—both scholarly and personal—to Haiti, but this tragedy affects us all.
Members of the IU community have responded with creativity and generosity to previous tragedies caused by natural disasters in the United States and around the world. As you can see from the events listed below, our community is eager to help once again.
As is often the case in such tragedies, the need for assistance will be ongoing. This will be especially true in Haiti, a nation that has suffered from severe poverty, inadequate infrastructure, the ravaging effects of frequent hurricanes, and a range of health and social problems. The survivors in Haiti will be deeply grateful for any support you can give.
Karen Hanson
Provost and Executive Vice President
