Four Jefferson Scholars Saw New Orleans for Themselves and Share Their Thoughts on Rebuilding

During the 2006 January Term, four Jefferson Scholars took IMP 223, Tech and Citizenship, an interdisciplinary majors course examining Hurricane Katrina's impact. After classes in Charlottesville, participants traveled to New Orleans for the duration of the course.

Begun in 2005, January Term (or "J-Term") offers students intensive two-week courses prior to the start of the spring semester. The courses emphasize faculty-student contact and small-group seminar or lab experience. Classes typically meet fours hours a day, six days a week.

Justin Starr '08, Ross Baird '07, Connor Sullivan '08, and Kathryn Serra '08 withnessed the destruction --physical, financial, emotional-- and penned their thoughts.
