Justin Lafreniere of Oxford, a third-year medical student at Tulane University in New Orleans, is on the move – again.
Lafreniere had just relocated from New Orleans to Houston’s Baylor College of Medicine to help set up Tulane’s operations there. Now, in the face of Hurricane Rita, he is directing students and faculty north to Dallas, according to a story in this week’s Chronicle of Higher Education.
“You get good at realizing that nothing is permanent, and you have to just roll with the punches,” Lafreniere told the newspaper, adding that there are some advantages to living out of a backpack. “Luckily, we’re all very mobile at this point.”
Justin is the son of Ray Lafreniere, vice principal of Poland Regional High School. His mother, Anne, works at Central Maine Medical Center.
