The issue of food insecurity is real among students at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), with nearly one-third surveyed in fall 2020 saying they felt some level of uncertainty regarding their food supply.

UMB’s Intercultural Center, Division of Student Affairs, and Police Department (UMBPD) took a step toward combating the problem March 13, collaborating with other partners to provide 30-pound boxes of nonperishable food items to students as well as employees and community members at a Pop-Up Pantry.

Monday marked a homecoming for Dr. Philip Rogers first official day as chancellor at East Carolina University.
His office in the 90-year-old Spilman Building, tucked in a corner on the first floor facing Fifth Street, is familiar. Rogers once worked just up the stairs when he served as chief of staff from 2008-2013.

For many WSU Pullman community members, working out at a campus recreation center is an essential part of daily life. So when COVID-19 forced gyms and fitness facilities to temporarily close last March, the loss was felt acutely among students, faculty, and staff alike.
Recognizing the importance of fitness to the campus community, University Recreation staff got to work on making campus recreation COVID safe.
Staff began offering free online classes within a week of facilities closing so community members could exercise from their own homes. They familiarized themselves with state and campus COVID protocols. And they spent several weeks moving equipment, installing sanitizing and temperature check stations, installing signage on mask-wearing policies, and developing an online reservation system to accommodate new facility capacity limits.
