HOW ARE YOU ADJUSTING TO IN-PERSON LEARNING?

“I’m making sure to take care of my body and health so I can be awake throughout the day because it takes more energy to be in-person.” — Brighid Baker, senior

“It’s been pretty good and it hasn’t been a problem socially, and classes are going well and all my teachers are nice.”

— Oliver Chancellor, freshman

“I’ve joined a lot more clubs and been a lot more social because we’ve been in-person and that’s definitly been a highlight.”

— Payton Anderson, junior
