9. But Why LSU?
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, LSU accepted an
additional 2,300 displaced students from the greater New
Orleans area, such as Tulane University, Loyola University of
New Orleans, and University of New Orleans. In addition to
accepting displaced students, university officials also took on
the challenge of housing and managing many hurricane
victims, converting the Pete Maravich Assembly Center into a
fully functional field hospital. Around 3,000 LSU students
volunteered during the months after Katrina, assisting with the
administration of medical treatment to some 5,000 evacuees
and screening another 45,000 for various diseases.
