  COVID Share Your Story #RITtigers #22, Advertising and Public Relations Major's Point of view

  COVID-19 has turned my life upside. My co-op was terminated without more than saying it was for the best due to the pandemic. From that I had nothing to do to keep myself busy. Luckily I had RIT, when I was trying to figure out how to proceed with making sure I would still be getting credit for my co-op: my co-op advisor, academic advisor, and Student Advisory Board Advisor gave me links, tips and suggestions to fill my day. RIT has been helping me through the pandemic every day constantly sending resources and activities to do. Not much of good has come out of the experience except nowing that the RIT community is supporting every student in any capacity they can. If I could give a message to myself at the start of this semester, what would I say? Be ready for challenges and approach them creatively. Adapt to the situations at hand.

  COVID Share Your Story #RITtigers #16, Computational Mathematics Major's Point of view

  I was set to graduate this Spring, and I'm obviously quite sad there's not going to be a commencement for it. My college commencement is something I've looked forward to not just since the beginning of this semester or even the beginning of my time at RIT, but it goes way back to when I was very little and learned that college was a thing and that many professions required a college education. I could've done the math then and figured out that I was on track to be at a commencement of my own in May of 2020, and to have come all this way and not be able to live that ceremony is just gutting. Getting used to remote classes has been a challenge. I've never taken a credited college class remotely before and it requires more self-organisation than with in-person classes. If I can think of anything good that has, or at least will, come out of this experience, it's the fact that - while this is one of the most challenging times the world has ever faced - we all will come out of it stronger than ever, and so anytime we face other challenges after this, we'll feel more up to the task because we overcame this. If I could give a message to myself at the start of this semester, what would I say? I would tell myself to savour the experiences I have with my friends and take pictures of them because with what we're dealing with now, I've been deprived of these opportunities for the final weeks of my time in college.

  Letter to my son’s 4th grade teacher

  The greatest hardship for my children in this time is the loneliness of missing their beloved teachers and friends. Writing letters to their teachers helps them feel connected and is good writing practice for their home learning.
