Even small gestures make a big difference, especially for the students who experienced COVID-related isolation and quarantine on campus.
Throughout the academic year, representatives from Housing & Dining Services, the Alumni Association and University Advancement collected donations and assembled care packages that were delivered to students as they were moved to quarantine or isolation, enabling the campus community to pull together to offer encouragement and support to those being temporarily displaced.
“Through this unique partnership with HDS, Alumni, Advancement and RHA, we were able to engage the community — including students — in supporting our students as they navigated their quarantine experience,” said Christie Mathews, director of projects and outreach for Housing & Dining Services, who spearheaded the HDS part of the effort.
