Graduate Student Shelter

To All Rice Graduate Students.

Please communicate this message to all graduate students in your
department.

For your safety during Hurricane Rita, I am requesting that all graduate
students living in Rice Graduate Apartments make arrangements to move to
McNair Hall, home of the Jones Graduate School of Management, on Friday
morning beginning at 8 AM. Please bring along a sleeping bag, if you
have one, and other bedding together with medicines and toiletries. We
will provide food and water, but if you have special food that you would
like to bring with you that will be fine. You should plan to be
sheltered at McNair Hall the entire duration of the storm which may last
until sometime on Sunday. I wish to emphasize that we are about to
experience a very serious storm and the safest place for you will be
McNair Hall. Under no circumstances should you attempt to make your way
to McNair Hall after the storm has started.

Graduate students who are not residents of Graduate Apartments and who
wish to be sheltered on campus should also make their way to McNair Hall
beginning at 8 AM on Friday.
