Class of 2021: Seniors Forced to Make College Decisions via Virtual Tours


Class of 2021: Seniors Forced to Make College Decisions via Virtual Tours
on graduating high school seniors.
The senior year of high school is supposed to consist of prom and in-person graduation. Instead, most seniors are confined to their bedrooms doing school work for eight hours to turn around and work on college applications in hopes of a fresh start and a better school year.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shuttered many opportunities for high school seniors looking to apply for college including canceled college tours and standardized tests.
“You basically log off the computer after being on it for seven hours a day, and then it’s like I have to get the computer for three more hours to write an application essay or even research schools,” said Miranda Zanca, from Lincoln Park High School in Chicago.

UIC Associate Professor Derrick Sanders gives feedback to students on Monday, Jan. 27, 2020, at Perspectives Leadership Academy in preparation for an August Wilson Monologue competition.
In George C. Wolfe’s excellent new Netflix film of August Wilson’s “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” Chadwick Boseman looks gaunt, tired and vulnerable. This great actor was, as we now all know, battling the colon cancer that would bring about his death last summer at age 43.
