Personal stories

When you are involved in a distance education department at a university, you tend to have contact with students all over the world. This includes students in tragedy-affected areas such as New Orleans and Mississippi. Here are some excerpts from some emails that we have received from some students:

“We have no idea if we have a house left, but do know from talking with people at the base that the looters have taken over homes in our neighborhood, stealing, destroying and burning. ”

“Crime is now the only issue on our minds. We live in a beautiful, safe town that is now too dangerous to visit Wal Mart for groceries.”

“Your email finds me and my children safe, however, our house is believed to be gone. “
