Students impacted by hurricane go online
Sep 7th, 2005From the Collegiate Times:
Not all college students displaced by Hurricane Katrina want to relocate to new universities, and, to help those students, Virginia Tech is collaborating with other universities to offer a unique online course of study this fall.
" We know that many colleges and universities in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi will not be able to resume their fall semester and students are scrambling for alternatives,&lrquo; wrote David Spence, president of the Southern Regional Education Board, in a recent statement. " With the help of dozens of colleges and universities nationwide, we can now offer students key courses online to bridge them through this difficult time and eventually allow them to return to their home campuses.&lrquo;
