A NEW & EXCITING YEAR

Recently, Haitian Student Organization was registered on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University. We are excited about the inaugural year of HSO @ FGCU and have hit the ground running planning our events. As a growing group on this campus, We, the Haitian Students of Florida Gulf Coast University, in order to promote our Culture and History and share them with other students at Florida Gulf Coast University, have established the Haitian Student Organization of Florida Gulf Coast University.

The Official Organization name: HAITIAN STUDENT ORGANIZATION of Florida Gulf Coast University.

To promote our Culture and History and share them with other students at Florida Gulf Coast University is what we strive to accomplish. One thing we must state, though the organization is Haitian Student Organization we are open to all cultures. Through out the year we will promote other Caribbean nations, as our struggles, strengths, tribulations and triumphs are all a reflection of one another, as a new generation we must show a united front of the West Indies to all by-standing nations. In the words of our ancestors L'union Fait Force (United We Are Strong)

ALERT: 7.0 Earthquake Hits Haiti

(CNN) -- A major earthquake struck southern Haiti on Tuesday, knocking down buildings and power lines and inflicting what its ambassador to the United States called a catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation.

Several eyewitnesses reported heavy damage and bodies in the streets of the capital, Port-au-Prince, where concrete-block homes line steep hillsides. There was no estimate of the dead and wounded Tuesday evening, but the U.S. State Department has been told to expect "serious loss of life," department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters in Washington.

"The only thing I can do now is pray and hope for the best," the ambassador, Raymond Alcide Joseph, told CNN.
