Schools, firms helping displaced students - Laura Ascione, eSchool News
As the flood waters from Hurricane Katrina recede and city officials prepare to reopen parts of New Orleans to residents, education leaders and company executives from coast to coast continue to offer their support and services to ensure that students displaced by the storm have a stable education.... The Sloan Consortium, an association of accredited higher-education institutions that offer online degree programs, is making available online college courses free of charge to students from institutions impacted by Hurricane Katrina and students serving in the National Guard whose studies were interrupted by being called to active duty in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The initiative is called "Sloan Semester," and more information can be found on its web site (http://sloansemester.org).
