The 2020 fall semester was compressed so that students did not need to travel back to campus after the Thanksgiving holiday, reducing the risk of spreading COVID-19 as the winter season began. Through frequent testing and the community’s Healthy Together Commitment, in-person instruction continued safely throughout the fall semester. Students also had the option to complete the semester remotely.
