Pandemic uproots higher education s academic calendar
Like many colleges nationwide, the University of Mount Union canceled its traditional weeklong spring break.
On a college campus, academic calendars reign supreme, dictating basically everything that happens at an institution. In addition to serving as an internal and external schedule, calendars power a lengthy list of a campus activities, ranging from being the foundation of information systems to making sure students log enough instructional days to hit financial aid requirements.
For the most part, calendars remained unchanged at many institutions until, of course, the pandemic. It s caused us to take a more in-depth look at what our calendar has looked like in the past and then to consider what types of adjustments might not only be helpful to students during the pandemic, but also post-pandemic, said Laura Barnard, Lakeland Community College s executive vice president and provost.
ALLIANCE Volunteers at the University of Mount Union are making cards and sets of coasters for health care workers in Alliance this month to thank them for their work during the pandemic.
Abby Schroeder, director of the Regula Center for Public Service and Civic Engagement at Mount Union, said students, faculty and staff participating in the service project will fill roughly 1,200 appreciation bags by the end of the month. We offer two service projects a month, she said. As you can imagine, this year those projects look a little bit different. We had to be pretty creative and offer more things on campus.
