COVID-19 has changed the way the course is presented. Instead of seven sessions, there are five, and social-distancing guidelines have shrunk the class capacity from 200 to around 140. All attendees must fill out an online COVID questionnaire before entering campus.
Oh, and the class is conducted outdoors.
Grutman and his team managed to transform the rooftop of the university s Kovens Conference Center into a stage complete with colored spotlights and a hot pink step-and-repeat. Velvet ropes the kind you d see in a nightclub create sections for social distancing. Students are seated six feet apart from one another and wear masks during the class.
