When the city of New Orleans was hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Tulane’s Green Wave faced a steep curve of rebuilding in the wake of utter devastation. The school shut down for four months, reflecting the area's lack of municipal services as well as damage to buildings on campus. With the athletics program in danger of being suspended when classes reopened, its director was ultimately able to convince the school president that continuing the sports program would be a net positive for the community and instill a sense of purpose and pride.
