Last week, Ayiana Davis Polen finally set foot on the campus of Spelman College a historically Black liberal arts school for women in Atlanta. She s a freshman there but had started her college experience last fall taking classes from her bedroom in Puerto Rico.
Back then, she wasn t sure if it felt like college but then again, she had nothing to compare it with.
Now, she s about to. Spelman, like many colleges across the U.S., is beefing up its in-person offerings for the spring semester. For Davis Polen, that meant there was a spot for her in a dorm on the picturesque campus.

State health officials doubled down Monday on the need to restrict group gatherings and close indoor bars and restaurants, despite the launch of COVID-19 vaccinations and the lowest infection and hospitalization numbers in Minnesota since Halloween.
Large gatherings over the holidays could refuel a pandemic that has led to 4,872 deaths in Minnesota and 399,311 infections with the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, state Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm said. Though we have come down at quite a good healthy pace in our case growth, we re still quite a bit above what not just we, but national public health leaders, consider to be indicators of high risk, she said.
