Helping employees cope

JEFF FITLOW
Free bags of ice, courtesy of Housing and Dining, were just one of the
benefits offered to Rice employees, many of whose homes are still
without electricity. Knowing that a number of faculty and staff were
out of town or dealing with damage from Hurricane Ike, the university
did not charge benefit time to employees who were unable to report to
campus when Rice reopened Tuesday. Human Resources and other
departments sought all types of assistance for employees affected by
the storm, from short-term loans and check cashing to meals, child
care, shower facilities and laundry services. For more info on the
services available to students and employees, visit
