Bentley Service-Learning and the Hurricane Katrina Project
Bringing the Business and the Arts Disciplines together to Assist the Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic in Alabama
The Hurricane Katrina Project was created by the Bentley Service-Learning Center in response to the devastating impact of the hurricane on the Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic in southern Alabama.
