On Wednesday, students will be back on UL Lafayette s campus, but not nearly as many students as you d have seen in Januaries past. This is because of adjusted schedules and virtual classes.
Faculty are working to ease students back into schoolwork as they return. It s already overwhelming to have like COVID and you can t meet people and you can t be in class, says Freshman, Kaley Mestayer.
For this reason, university administration decided not to change any protocols from Fall 2020 to Spring 2021. A lot of our students caught on to how to work through that scheduling in the fall semester and we felt that not changing things again on them was the important thing to do right now, says Provost and VP of Academic Affairs, Jaimie Hebert.
