Seminary evacuation prepares for Gustav: Classes Continue Online - Gary D. Myers & Michael McCormack, Baptist Press
New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary President Chuck Kelley called for a mandatory evacuation of the main campus due to Tropical Storm Gustav. The evacuation will begin Aug. 29 and continue through Aug. 30.This is the first evacuation of New Orleans Seminary since the approach of Hurricane Katrina, which made landfall on Aug. 29, 2005 -– three years ago to the day of the evacuation announcement.... While the campus is closed, classes will continue via the seminary's Blackboard system (an online learning tool)."I want to emphasize that we are going to keep teaching. We learned in our Hurricane Katrina experience that we are able to continue teaching our classes even without our campus if we need to," Kelley said. "We will be shifting our students onto our Blackboard and Internet system and will continue to teach."
