AP Wire | 03/25/2007 | Professors teach classes on Katrina:

"Wilson and Yolanda Jones, an assistant professor of chemistry at Alcorn State University, had teamed up to offer the class 'The Impact of Katrina on Technology and Infrastructure.' Wilson brought 12 students to the coast for a month of studies in the field. Jones' students were here for a week and completed the majority of their coursework back in the classroom.

What made the program even more innovative was the division of time and labor: Students went to class a couple of days a week. The other days they labored with volunteers working from First Presbyterian Church of Bay St. Louis - cleaning yards, clearing debris and repairing and painting the homes of hurricane victims."
