The Effort to Stay on Campus

 To account for the thousands of students that are currently residing at the University of Kentucky for the fall 2020 semester, several organizations have moved their events to an online format. The campus is still vibrant with life as we begin October and, hopes of finishing the semester are looking fortunate. Community Gatherings with LLPS (Living Learning Programs), college tours/information, and classes are held through Zoom, a commodity that has become a way of life for multitudes of individuals.

The initiative that the university continues to keep intact to ensure the safety of the current students. Recently, it was regarded that all current students had to get a mandatory flu shot to help detour the spread of Covid-19. A statement was also released confirming that all returning students had to receive another covid test before stepping back on campus. It may seem dreadful, but the idea of potentially deferring the spread of the coronavirus is motivation to proceed through the testing. However, this semester turns out I am grateful for the time that I got to experience my first year.
