Kent State United for Biloxi Releases DVD

For six days in March 2006, Kent State United for Biloxi volunteers cleaned the shoreline, nailed down roofs and mended broken hearts on the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast. But that trip wasn’t the end.

Parts I and II of the Kent State United for Biloxi video exclusive provide snippets of survivor and volunteer interviews, accompanied by moving footage and photography from the trip.

Watch Part I: Rebuilding Lives on the Gulf Coast and then watch Part II: Kent State Volunteers Help Gulf Coast Residents Pick up the Pieces.

You can also get your full-length copy of the Kent State United for Biloxi DVD, a 20-minute video featuring day-in-the-life footage, a photo essay and interviews with Gulf Coast residents, hurricane survivors, relief coordinators and Kent State volunteers.

The Kent State United for Biloxi DVDs are $10 each. Proceeds from the DVD sales go toward the Spring Break 2007 Kent State United for Biloxi return trip.

For more information or to order your copy of the Kent State United for Biloxi video, contact Charlene McKeel in Undergraduate Studies at 330-672-0974 or cmckeel@kent.edu.
