Hurricane Katrina struck, causing devastation throughout southeast Louisiana. Southeastern, which didn’t sustain any major structural damages, played a critical role in relief efforts, housing displaced students, staff, faculty, National Guard members, and utility workers. The university also re-opened enrollment and provided housing for many displaced students from other universities and community colleges in the disaster area. Southeastern enrolled a record-breaking 16,068 students that fall. Southeastern’s quick response to the disaster showcased its commitment to the community, providing much-needed support during a time of crisis.
