Autor

Katherine Persson was a founding faculty member and a long-time college president of Lone Star College-Kingwood when Hurricane Harvey's sewage-laden floodwaters washed over eighty percent of everything on the main campus just before the start of 2017 fall classes. With 113 classrooms lost, LSC-Kingwood built a new instructional business plan and started classes 27 days after flooding with no employee layoffs, and an increase in student enrollment of over five percent for that eventful first semester.
