Law Schools respond to Katrina

Charity doesn't always begin at home. When you go to a Catholic school that takes its mission seriously the pillars of Christianity are at work in the academic arena as well. It took a newspaper article to point out that my school has taken in more New Orleans students than all the other schools in the area COMBINED.

We didn't know that. What we know is that we are fundraising like crazy and the Dean will match what we raise.

We are collecting food and hygiene supplies.

No one here is crowing, "look at us, we're helping", students, staff and administrators all have heads down trying to figure out how best to marshall what resources we have and the most effective way to use them.
