JACKSON, Tenn. (BP)--Only two weeks after a tornado ripped through Union University, students and faculty brought a sense of optimism in returning to their classes Feb. 20.

In addition to a revised schedule and, in some cases, relocated classrooms and offices, the many changes to the campus caused by the EF-4 tornado continue to weigh on hearts and minds at the Jackson, Tenn., campus. Two students remain hospitalized from their injuries.

"It was strange walking onto campus and not seeing what I used to call home, yet having to continue to act as though everything was normal," said Natalie Newberry of Memphis, Tenn. "Walking from the Student Union Building to the Penick Academic Complex and not seeing any dorms was strange to me. It threw my day off." the rest
