Each school year, a plethora of new events take place on HBCU grounds, turning a new spotlight on these historic institutions of higher learning. But this year represents a new beginning for some HBCU campuses in areas ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, including Dillard University, Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) and Xavier University of Louisiana. When the hurricane breeched several levees, flooding the city of New Orleans and all three campuses, officials were faced with the challenge of restoring the institutions. Some have picked up the pieces with help from other HBCUs, like North Carolina Central University. Because of such help, some schools are reopening on their original campuses this fall, while others will continue to operate from temporary quarters. On other campuses, the new school year brings new life to institutions that are more than 100 years old, including Tuskegee University, which celebrates 125 years of excellence, service and distinguished contributions.
