Last month, Hurricane Sandy -- dubbed by many researchers as one of the most powerful hurricanes in American history - came ashore along almost 1,000 miles of the United States eastern seaboard, carving a path of destruction that also destroyed whole communities in coastal New York and New Jersey. To assist impacted communities and residents, on Saturday, Dec. 8, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will host a live telethon event to raise funds to help Hurricane Sandy victims. The event - which will also be webcast - will be held in the Rensselaer Union McNeil Room from 7 to 9 p.m. All proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross.
