SGA Responds to the Crisis in Ukraine
In times of local and global unrest, it is important for our New York Tech community to be supportive of all who are experiencing hardships. New York Tech’s Student Government Associations (SGA) and many other community members have asked how they can help during this current time of crisis. In response, the SGA has set up a UNICEF USA collection site where community members can donate money. All collected funds will go directly to UNICEF USA to provide aid to children suffering in Ukraine and as refugees in Eastern Europe.
