The article presents the author's experience of hurricane Katrina as she moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, in search of jobs. She had moved to New Orleans one week before Hurricane Katrina was supposed to come. She went on the academic job market last fall for the first time while working on the final stages of her dissertation in social work. Within a span of six weeks, she was offered a job in New Orleans. When she arrived on the campus to file her hiring paperwork, she was welcomed so warmly that she felt that she had gained a new sort of family, or at least a community.
