Colleges Add More In-Person Classes For Spring, Amid High Risk Of Coronavirus Spread By
at 2:19 am NPR
Last week, Ayiana Davis Polen finally set foot on the campus of Spelman College â a historically Black liberal arts school for women in Atlanta. She s a freshman there but had started her college experience last fall taking classes from her bedroom in Puerto Rico.
Back then, she wasn t sure if it felt like college â but then again, she had nothing to compare it with.
Now, she s about to. Spelman, like many colleges across the U.S., is beefing up its in-person offerings for the spring semester. For Davis Polen, that meant there was a spot for her in a dorm on the picturesque campus.

Georgia Republicans have reportedly created a Political Action Committee to “stop”
Stacey Abrams from running for governor in 2022.
Excuse me while I laugh out loud for a moment.
Indeed it is comical that the “stop the steal” and ”save America” crowd are so fearful of a powerful Black woman, so much so that they’ve created an entire operation to thwart her political efforts.
If you didn’t believe that the Republican Party circa 2021 was backward, shrinking, sexist, and yes racist, you now know. There is no one more qualified to be Georgia’s governor than Stacey Abrams. Aside from being a lawful citizen of Georgia, Abrams served as Georgia’s House minority leader in the state legislature; attended the prestigious Spelman College in Atlanta, and obtained her Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School.
