Muller, AVP - Public Relations, (412) 995-7262 Devra Pransky, PR Specialist, (412) 995-7685 (PITTSBURGH - September 12, 2005) The Art Institutes announced today that it will assist both domestic and international students from universities in New Orleans, southern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama universities, which have been closed for the foreseeable future due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.
