Fairfield students and University members are doing all they can in order to
help in the Haiti relief efforts. A Facebook group called 'Fairfield For Haiti' was
created last week by students who wanted to band together and brainstorm
ideas to raise money for the Haitian people. A forum is planned for Wednesday
night for all Fairfield students and organizations, according to the group.
Anne-sophie Janvier, and Lisa Haylon' 10, were contacted
through a variety of means. Professor Gisela Gil-Egui was
the first who was able to make contact with any of the
students, with LeGros through Facebook.
"I was able to connect with the other three through
information supplied to me by a friend of theirs who
lives in the United States," said Dean of Students Tom
Pellegrino.
The students are focusing on
getting a flight back to the United
States from the Santiago airport in the
Dominican Republic, according to Pel-legrino.
There were no, service trips or
other University-related activities to
Haiti at the time of the earthquake,
although Haiti is one of the most
common destinations for service trips
through campus ministry. Contact was
made with the students mainly through
e-mail, and University representatives
have had communication with the
students' families as well.
Some alumni of the University re-side
or work in Haiti, including several
Fairfield students and family members
of the students and staff in Haiti.
"We will continue to do all that we
can to inquire about the well-being of
any other members of our community,"
said President Jeffrey von Arx in a Uni-versity
message.
"There are of course others in our community (stu-dents,
faculty and staff) who were not present but who
have family and friends there," Pellegrino added.
"There is still much we do not know," he said.
Students are already responding to the crisis. The
Fairfield for Haiti group will be holding a forum on
Wednesday, Jan. 20, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. to develop
ideas for fund-raising. The location is to be announced.
John Sullivan '13, who is part of the group and has
worked in the Hopital Sacre Coeur, a hospital that pro-vides
free health care to
everyone in Milot, Haiti,
hopes that Fairfield will
step up to the plate to
help Haitians.
"Now, from what
I've heard from my con-tacts
in Haiti is that the
hospital is flooded with
people. They've set up tents outside to assist people and
are doing the best they can to help everybody," he said.
"Fairfield needs to help Hopital Sacre Coeur and the
rest of Haiti out during this time."
Melissa Quan, Director of Service Learning at Fair-field,
will be coordinating efforts with the Jesuit Universi-ties
Humanitarian Action Network (JUHAN) to decide
how Fairfield can respond to the crisis, short-term and
long-term.
"Specific to the crises in Haiti, the JUHAN student
leadership team will be meeting this afternoon to begin

Rebuilding Haiti the
Right Way
Kat DeLuna added to
FUSA Concert
BY MICHELLE MORRISON
ONLINE MANAGING EDITOR
The mystery is revealed:
Kat DeLuna, the
singer best known
for her gold-certified
single
"Whine Up," will
be the third act of
the FUSA spring
concert.
FUSA received
final word that
DeLuna accepted
their bid at the end
of December, after
students had gone
home for winter
break.
"It was kind
of like an early
Christmas present,"
said Melissa Mann
TO. Mann is the
director of concerts for FUSA
as well as the entertainment
editor of The Mirror.
DeLuna will join reggae-fusion
singer Sean Kingston
and pop-rock band Eve 6 on
Feb. 20 in Alumni Hall.
With DeLuna on the bill,
this concert will be Fairfield's
first with a female performer.
"We are doing something
different this year and she
helps fit that bill," said Mann.
DeLuna's music, which

FUSA recently announced that Kat Deluna will
be the third act in this year's concert.
can be described as a mixture
of techno, reggae, rock and
pop, fits well alongside Kings-ton's
smooth sound.
"I think she'll be a good
tie-in with Sean Kingston at
the same time," said Mann.
"She will help keep the energy
up."
DeLuna has a unique tie
to Fairfield. One of her back-up
dancers, Brian Herman, is
a Fairfield senior.
Tickets, which will cost
$30 for students and
$40 for the public, will
go on sale Feb. 1.
Students can buy
one student-price
ticket per person,
per StagCard and an
unlimited number of
tickets at the public
price.
According to
Mann, FUSA has got-ten
a very upbeat re-sponse
from students
looking forward to the
concert.
"Students have
been really positive
about all three," she
said. "To get three
strong acts like that
is awesome and I'm excited
about that."
Since her hit single
"Whine up" in 2008, DeLuna
has released more singles
including "Unstoppable"
featuring Lil' Wayne and
the bilingual song "Dance
Bailalo."
