Union University Starts Recovery
Posted on February 7th, 2008
Union University in Jackson, Tenn., has entered the recovery phase of campus life after a tornado devastated the campus on Tuesday.
An official UU Recovery blog is up and running on the web, and university President David S. Dockery said that the emergency phase of the crisis that left 51 student injured and much of the campus dormitories destroyed is now over.
At the 36-hour mark, we have moved from the emergency phase to the recovery and restoration phase of our efforts…Tennessee Guard will be working with Union security to retrieve undamaged personal goods from various residence life rooms Feb. 7-8. All personal belongings will be bagged and tagged so that students can retrieve their undamaged personal goods beginning on Feb. 18.
University spokesperson Tim Ellsworth has a post in the blogosphere on ways to pray for Union University. The institution is "the oldest school currently affiliated with Southern Baptist life" in Tennessee, according to Union University's web site.
