St. Paul, Minn. — A group of students from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul have just returned from a week-long trip to New Orleans. Thirty students and three advisors made the trip to help demolish and clean up the area that was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer talked with St. Thomas student Ericka Leahy and St. Thomas ethics professor Bernie Brady, who accompanied the students to New Orleans.
