Colleges Rally to Help Students in Louisiana
CEO Kurt Landgraf of Educational Testing Service (ETS) Helps Students of Disaster

Staff of ETS’s San Antonio office are collecting money, food, and personal hygiene items for the estimated 25,000 victims who have begun arriving at Kelly Air Force Base and area schools. ETS President and CEO Kurt Landgraf also announced the company will make a $100,000 corporate donation to the Hurricane Katrina disaster relief effort.

With its donation, ETS will aid two organizations: the American Red Cross, $75,000, and Xavier University in New Orleans, $25,000. In particular, ETS San Antonio staff will be collecting items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, soap, diapers, wipes, and pillows. “There is not a single person at ETS who has not been affected by the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina,” Landgraf says. “Our thoughts and prayers are with those who were directly affected by the storm as well as with those who have loved ones struggling in the aftermath of the worst natural disaster to occur in this country.”

“The Red Cross has been recognized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as one of the organizations best equipped to provide aid in response to Hurricane Katrina,” says Vice President and Corporate Secretary Eleanor Horne. “And our donation to Xavier recognizes the more than 25 years of collaboration between ETS and Xavier through its president, Norman Francis.”

For individual employees who wish to contribute, ETS has established a separate fund. “All donations will be acknowledged,” Horne says, adding, “No amount is too small to be appreciated.”

ETS staff are also coordinating efforts to reschedule tests for persons affected by the hurricane and who need test scores for admissions or licensing purposes.#
