- Memorial Website
In late August 2005, the worst natural disaster in the history of the U.S. caused unbelievable destruction to our beloved city, its people and institutions, including Tulane University. However, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina did not destroy us because of the courage and sheer determination of so many who would not accept defeat no matter what obstacles or challenges stood in the way.
This
website has been created to serve as a living journal for those who survived,
and as a memorial to the places, family and friends we have lost.
What happened at Tulane University?
Saturday, Aug. 27, 2005 was move-in day
for Tulane students. In a matter of hours, students and parents went from
unpacking boxes in residence halls to hurriedly evacuating the city. By
Sunday, every Tulane student was evacuated -- with approximately 400 students
bused to Jackson State University along with the "away" Tulane
emergency team. Only President Cowen and a handful of essential personnel
remained on campus in New Orleans. Follow
