Sophie, now that things are about to start back up, I'm curious what students' thoughts are on the plans for the fall.
I just started grad school in Mexico a few weeks ago, and we have a phased plan for resuming activities.
-Fully online until at least mid September
-hybrid environment when campus reopens (can be online, in person, or both)
There are also detailed procedures for the campus reopening
-deep cleanings
-professors given access to campus after a safety training on protocols
-students returning after a safety training on protocols
(etc)
Overall I'm thankful that we are not rushing back to campus. The return date has already been pushed once, and I'm not going to be in town right away when campus reopens.
What steps is your university taking? How are you feeling about the semester?

Subject: HOW is Covid affecting YOUR College
Howdy Everyone,
I hope everyone is staying safe in the uncertain times ahead. For us students, I have heard from around the country things such as graduations being cancelled, classes leaving the classroom and new grading systems being adapted. As aspiring civil engineers, our affinity to want to help with problems facing our civilization is blaring. So let us try and help each other by sharing these experiences within our educational communities to see if there are ways our individual programs could be aided in these times.
Question: How has Covid-19 influenced your college experience so far? Furthermore, how are you managing theses changes to your school schedule?
