GODFREY Thanks to the success of its COVID-19 safety precautions, the Lewis and Clark Community College Music Department hasn’t missed a beat while holding in-person classes.
“We have all computers surrounded with plexiglass, and we reduced our lab from 12 computers down to eight to space students out,” said L&C Music Department Coordinator and Professor Louis Michael. “Additionally, we’ve installed plexiglass dividers on our stage.
