The COVID-19 pandemic has created a new set of challenges for events on campus. Despite these new challenges, the Student Organization for University Programming (SOUP) has managed to host a variety of both in-person and virtual events.
Senior Stephanie Meyer, co-president of SOUP, feels that the pandemic has made it difficult to form a sense of community at Lawrence. Because of this, she and other members of SOUP have been taking measures to combat the difficulties caused by COVID-19.
SOUP has been working with the administration to ensure safety as a priority at each event. Additionally, they have created a virtual aspect to every in-person event to ensure that students off-campus aren’t excluded from participating in these events.
