In addition to the "CU Campaign for Dillard," CU-Boulder will host the main Dillard Web site, offering features such as updates, a locator service and interactive communities. Initial contacts in this effort are under way, Schnabel said. CU-Boulder's correspondence and online courses also are being examined to provide a sampling that will give displaced Dillard students another option for continuing their college careers on their own, while Dillard officials work on rebuilding the campus.
People who wish to donate to the "CU Campaign for Dillard," should go to the Web site for the United Negro College Fund and follow the link at the top of the page. When filling out the form, donors should be sure to pull down the menu in the "Donation Type" section and select "Hurricane Katrina Relief — Dillard." In the "In Honor Gift" or "Memorial Gift" box, donors should write "University of Colorado Campaign for Dillard."
