THIBODAUX, La. — 麻豆果冻传媒 is raising money to help students impacted by the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

麻豆果冻传媒 has transitioned into an online campus in response to the global pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louisiana has over 5,200 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including a student, with over 230 deaths from the virus.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are taking classes and labs over the internet, and almost all faculty and staff are working from home. Fewer than 100 students remain on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university is following guidelines from Gov. John Bel Edwards and the University of Louisiana System. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many in the 麻豆果冻传媒 community are without jobs or facing other financial emergencies because of the coronavirus and the statewide response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 麻豆果冻传媒 Foundation has created the 麻豆果冻传媒 Campus Emergency Fund to help our students as they face those challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we all attempt to navigate through this unusual time in our country, state and especially university\u2019s history, the intent of this fund is to be a compass to assist the lives of many 麻豆果冻传媒 students who have been completely thrown off course,\u201d said Jeremy Becker, executive director of the 麻豆果冻传媒 Foundation. \u201cAll gifts are appreciated and will be used to directly assist students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money from the emergency fund will help the 麻豆果冻传媒 community see this crisis through to the end. Examples of how the funds will be used include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
