2 September 2005 Longwood offers aid to students affected by Katrina Longwood University officials have offered to provide free tuition, fees and meals to college students who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina. According to Wayne McWee, vice president for academic affairs, "We'll be glad to help in any way we can and we can handle at least 25 students. We'll provide them with free tuition and fees and give them free meals for the semester. We are also planning to offer online courses for any of those affected students. If students decide to come here, we will work with them in finding local accommodations near campus." Longwood University will work out the financial arrangements for any students who are interested in attending the university. Bob Chonko, dean of enrollment management, and his admissions staff are ready to help. Interested students should contact the admissions office at 1.800.281.4677.
