SU President Dr. Betty Cernol-McCann said that Vernon Hall, a regular dormitory of the University is now being used as temporarily shelter for hospital staff after their duty. A total of 58 beds have been made available, and there are currently about 10-12 nurses temporarily staying in Vernon Hall since April 6.
Many cities have responded to this global situation by providing dormitories, hotels, gymnasiums, etc. as temporary housing facilities to healthcare workers for free. “We are grateful that SU responded to our call,” he added. The College of Nursing, Civic Welfare Training Service with the Office of Community Engagement and Service-Learning, and Nutrition and Dietetics Department distributed face masks and face shields to front liners in Dumaguete City while the University’s Chemistry Department also produced ethyl alcohol sanitizers that were distributed to medical front liners to help in addressing the shortage of disinfectants in the market.
The Silliman Alumni Association, Inc. Dumaguete Chapter also donated P72,000 to help augment the food needs of 40 Silliman University student dormitory residents, stranded in the course of the pandemic. The amount will cover food for the period April 4 – 12, 2020 as well as pay for experienced outsourced personnel to take care of the food preparation.
