The school, which like most of the city lost power during the storm, began to regain electricity that same day, kickstarting cleanup and repair efforts that were ongoing as of September 5th. May all stay safe as we restore our community and spirits.
Your support, the protection of Mother Katharine, and the grace of God have helped us weather this storm. We thank you for your prayers and outpouring of love.
Reynold Verret, posted a message of encouragement on September 3rd. Students who remained on XULA’s campus during the storm were relocated to Dallas on August 31st, after which the school’s recovery process began in earnest. The university has been closed since the weekend of Hurricane Ida, which has claimed lives and infrastructure all along the Gulf and East Coasts, as well as parts of the Midwest, since it made landfall stateside on August 29th as one of the most powerful storms in US history. ‼️Update: Xavier University of Louisiana will reopen campus on Monday, September 13th. The historic New Orleans institution announced the news on social media Tuesday afternoon, the same day virtual classes commenced following Labor Day weekend. Students will be allowed to return on September 12th, campus will officially reopen the next day, and in-person learning will begin a week later, on September 20th. In the wake of a relatively expedited power restoration process, schools across south Louisiana are announcing reopening plans-among them, the nation’s Catholic HBCU, Xavier University of Louisiana.
