Dear Scripps Students, Faculty, and Staff,
In these tremendously difficult times, the College’s highest priority is the well-being and safety of our students, faculty, and staff. In the past week, we have heard from many of you who have been directly impacted by the Los Angeles area wildfires, and we have received an outpouring of support from those who want to help.
The Scripps community takes pride in how we come together to care for each other in challenging times. In that spirit, the College has established the Scripps College Emergency Fund to provide dedicated emergency aid to help the College’s students, faculty, and staff assist with costs incurred by disasters such as the devastating wildfires. The Board of Trustees has generously made initial donations to the emergency fund. Please note: Students’ financial aid will not be impacted by receiving support from this fund.
To make a gift, of any amount, to the Scripps College Emergency Fund, please visit this site.
Your generosity and caring are greatly appreciated. For those seeking information about supplemental resources, please visit Emergency Updates on the Scripps website.
This is a time to come together and lean on each other. Take care and stay safe. With appreciation,
Laura Hockett ’85
Chair of the Board of Trustees
Amy Marcus-Newhall
President
