In response to the destruction and desperation caused by Hurricane Katrina, Bowdoin College will contribute $30,000 to three historically African-American colleges facing substantial recovery and reconstruction costs in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Bowdoin announced today that it will donate $10,000 each to Dillard University and Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans, and Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi. The College also announced that it would invite faculty from the three colleges to apply for a limited number of visiting professorships at Bowdoin during the spring semester (beginning in January), which would include housing for the faculty member and his or her family. Bowdoin is also offering flexible payment plans for its students whose families live in areas hit hard by the hurricane.
