A talk by Kathleen Miner from the U.S. Agency for International Development, scheduled for noon Wednesday at UALR, has been cancelled due to the latest disaster to hit the impoverished nation of Haiti — Hurricane Tomas.

Miner, a veteran in international development, has worked at the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations, and the Peace Corps, had been scheduled to speak at the Donaghey Student Center on Wednesday to present an assessment of Haiti’s condition one year after a devastating earthquake hit the country.

Miner is coordinator of the information management division of USAID.
