For most Georgetown students, hurrican season usually means little more than a few rainy days, or perhaps, as in 2003, a couple days off from school. Last year, of course, was different—Hurricane Katrina shocked us all. We were horrified by the images on television. We felt deep sympathy for the plight of New Orleans. Some of us even gave money or joined relief organizations. Our daily life, though, was largely unaffected. But for some Georgetown students, not a day has passed since then that they haven’t felt the effects of the hurricane on a deeply personal level.
