As elementary and high schools plot strategies to combat lost learning over the pandemic year, colleges and universities across the region are preparing to support a freshman class unlike any they have ever welcomed.
Thousands of high school students poised to attend college next fall likely will be stepping out to a new community after a year of remote or hybrid learning that provided only minimal interaction with teachers and peers. Experts suspect that, alone, will put many slightly behind their peers from prior years.

Westmoreland County officials announced Tuesday it will open a coronavirus vaccine clinic later this week at Seton Hill University in Greensburg.
The clinic, with vaccines provided by Walmart, is set to vaccinate up to 1,400 residents over three days, starting April 9, according to Public Safety Director Roland Mertz.
“We’re trying to make more of these happen,” Mertz said.
Appointments for first doses of the Pfizer vaccine are available for three dates, April 9, 13 and 14. To register for an appointment call 1-800-753-8827 and select Option 1 when prompted. Mertz said on-line registration is not available for the clinic.
The butterfly is the inspiration for artist Jessica Jing McCann. McCann sees the creature as both fragile and strong.
“The butterfly has always been my favorite insect,” said McCann, of O’Hara. She recalled a trip to a butterfly garden at Niagara Falls when she was 14. “I love the elegance and grace of a butterfly. I also love its strength and its fragility.”
The essence of the insect comes through in the art McCann fashions out of nickel.
She said making jewelry is a process. It begins with a design she creates through a sketch, which she builds into a paper model. She takes those pieces of paper and places them on the nickel. McCann cuts the material with a coping saw into the desired shapes. She files the edges and sands the metal before polishing the jewelry.
