The Cascade Published 4 days ago According to Dr. Bonnie Henry and a UFV press release, UFV students can expect to return to in-person instruction next fall. This will be an immense relief for those yearning to return to campus and classrooms, and a source of anxiety for those who will think ahead to the implications of thousands of students once again congregating on campus. There are critical aspects of the pandemic that need to be considered if students are going to be able to safely take face-to-face classes in September. “While the rollout of vaccines and this announcement provide encouragement for the fall, the pandemic is not over, and we must still work diligently to curb the spread of COVID-19,” Dr. Joanne MacLean, president of UFV said in the March 9 press release. Although post-secondary institutions are being approved for a return to campuses, it doesn’t mean that there won’t be outbreaks at UFV similar to local secondary schools or that everyone in face-to-face classes will be immunized in time for the return.
