As the city continues its efforts to rescue, feed and hydrate those left in New Orleans we are all wondering what next. President Cowen has announced the semester has been surrendered to Katrina and the flood and left the students to fend for themselves. I have contacted a couple of the deans and recommended to anyone who would listen that we move the programs to our Houston campus. I have not heard back. So where does that leave us? I certainly do not know. I as many others have been furiously contacting other schools to find options for myself. Everyone I have talked to has been very understanding and some more accomodating than others. (This is mostly due to offerings and semester starts at their school.) At this time I highly recomment this course of action for all, although I am sure you are way ahead of the game.
Some other things I think must happen is that first the website must be brought back up. The career center needs to reopen and ensure Freeman Days in NY still happens. I have heard that Grant Thornton is trying to establish internships for MAcct students to work through this semester. I would also like to see how the school intends to treat the semester, is it just gone or will some if not all classes to be offered this Fall be offered in the Spring??? Finally, any word from our new dean would be nice.
Bill Sandefer has set up a Yahoo! group for us as well, here is the link:
