I'm blogging from New Orleans this week, where I'm spending 4 days with the Touro chapter of the Student Hurricane Network. My assignment is at Common Ground. We stopped off there briefly after we got in from the airport. Common Ground is an inspiring operation that's working to rebuild New Orleans on many fronts at once. It's able to do what it does in part because of the Millennials' volunteering spirit. Most of the contingent from Touro is made up of Millennials, but we have a few Boomers thrown in for good measure (on both the student and faculty sides).
From just the little time that I've spent with the students already, I'm impressed with their many admirable qualities: good-natured, collegial, appalled at injustice, and ready to do some good.
Pictures from the first day!

Dear Tracy,
As one of the "Boomers thrown in for good measure" (on the student side), I commend your unique contributions to the success of our recent trip to New Orleans. Although simply by definition, your status as a Law Prof always allowed you to (at least attempt to) assume an authoritative position over many situations, you never did. That conscious choice did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. The savvy application of your advanced legal expertise and education combined with your genuine willingness to help both students and the cause resulted in one of the most productive and collegial experiences for all who had the pleasure of working alongside you. On behalf of the entire Touro chapter of the Student Hurricane Network, I applaud your passionate participation and implore you to please join us again!
