Students entering Tulane University in 2006, 2007, and 2008, the years following Hurricane Katrina, were surveyed soon after arriving on campus and again after they had been at the university for two years. Attitudes toward a new public service graduation requirement, established after the storm, remained positive after students had completed two years of study. Measures of civic attitudes, knowledge, and skills were stable over two years, as well, but, at the same time, students showed increases in their valuing of community engagement and in several self-reports of civic knowledge. Comparisons involving additional groups showed the importance of the college experience in accounting for these changes. Interests in civic engagement expressed at college entry were correlated with and appear to be important predictors of later civic attitudes. (Contains 11 tables.)
