As the concern of the COVID-19 pandemic heightened throughout the month of March, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ made the decision to cancel face-to-face classes and move to completely online classes. But that meant some heavy lifting on the part of faculty, staff and students. Over the course of six days, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ's IT staff, Continuing and Distance Education staff, departmental educational technologists and instructional designers moved more than 8,000 traditional courses to digital learning platforms for remote instruction.
Nicolas Talbott had an interest in joining the military since he was in high school, but instead he decided to come to °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. In the spring semester of 2015, Talbott took a course that was specific to intelligence, counter terrorism and security studies where he was encouraged by his professor to join the military.
Journalism students face pursuing a career in an adverse time filled with intense political issues, dangerous environmental concerns and even pandemics.

Before May 4, 1970, students at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ were just regular students enjoying time together, performing, volunteering, and advocating for issues they believed in. Thanks to digital archives of the Daily °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏr and the department of Special Collections and Archives, here is a look into the life of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ students in the late 1960s and the days before the tragic events that would change the campus forever.
Meditative practices are bringing the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ community together, even from the comfort of their own home. °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ of Wellness has moved its Meditation Across Campus sessions online, in an effort to continue the sessions despite the COVID-19 global pandemic.

At °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ, a student-athlete’s day typically starts around 6 a.m. with practice or lifting. Then they attend team meetings or a cryotherapy session or study tables. After all that, it’s finally time for class, where these students have to maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 to keep the cumulative team GPA on track. It’s exhausting just to read all that.
