And so are Classes at Shaw University in Raleigh, NC
The Story(WRAL): Shaw University has canceled the remainder of its spring semester after taking a direct hit from the storms that rampaged across North Carolina.
University president Irma McClaurin said Sunday that the damage is so widespread the college won't be able to resume operations in time to finish up the last two weeks of class.
Graduation ceremonies for the class of 2011 will still go on as scheduled on May 7. Students will be assigned grades based on the work they've completed to this point in the semester.
Part of the roof was torn off the student center and windows were blown out in two dormitories, along with damage to other buildings.
The Analysis: I was initially shocked and wondering why would you cancel classes for the semester...but after watching a student's video of the actual tornado and then the aftermath that he caught on camera, now I see why. This video left me speechless.
It will take the city to help rebuild. Keep all folks affected by this past weekend in your prayers.
