Even as we go into a third semester of higher education during a pandemic, plans to reopen and operate are shifting constantly. How do you balance public health with the best student life has to offer? What about international students? Programs of study? There’s no denying the pandemic’s affected all of that, and different institutions have adapted in their own ways. This week, I spoke with Dr. Mary-Beth Cooper, President of Springfield College, one of the many fine institutions I’m proud to have part of my district. We talked about what fall semester might look like and what Springfield College has changed throughout the pandemic – this is that conversation.
