Despite the wide-spread damage to business and housing communities, the Stillman campus was not damaged. "Other than a few tree branches and a power outage in one of our residence halls, we consider ourselves blessed, said Veronica Clark, Assistant Vice President for Marketing and Public Relations. "Our hearts go out to the families of those who lost loved ones and to the hundreds of residents who are displaced." The College will be open for business on Thursday, April 28 and will hold classes as scheduled. SANDRA M.
