Title:	Lessons Learned from Leading Through Disaster
Course Description:	An F4 tornado struck the Union University campus in February, 2008 destroying 70% of residential life and damaging all but one academic building. The damage was estimated at $47 million. After a two-week class suspension and the relocation of various classes and 1000 residential life students off campus, the spring semester restarted and was completed on time. A prompt and decisive response enabled the University to open in the fall semester with new residence halls and repaired buildings. Focus will be given during the presentation to people-directed decision making, the importance of Town and Gown relationships and the financial realities of recovery.
