The University of La Verne and the Claremont Colleges are just a few local institutions in Southern California extending aid to students and others affected by Hurricane Katrina.
After years of hard work, sleepless nights, cramming for midterms and finals, many students head out of college without looking back. But several at the University of La Verne return as faculty or staff.
The small setting-and-class-size is one reason the University of La Verne attracts more than 1,000 students a year. This year 436 undergraduate students enrolled out of an admitted 1,045 students.
