THE last year has been a difficult period for almost everyone. It has been a struggle to remain motivated, let alone thrive under the current circumstances, especially for people in the creative industry.
DJ duo Bass Agents – Chia Khoo Hoong and Nick Chia – speak for many, talking about their downturn in luck during this time.
Semester calendar changes removes spring break
By Will Poladian, Contributing Writer
With COVID-19 still an issue in the world, St. Bonaventure University decided to change the original spring semester calendar. A press release released on Oct. 15, 2020, by Dr. Dennis DePerro, President of St. Bonaventure University, addressed the change.
“Because of the need to control travel again to mitigate the spread of the virus, spring break needed to be eliminated,” said DePerro.
This desire to restrict the movement of students led to alterations in the original schedule.
“Like everyone, I was hopeful that only the fall semester would be impacted by the pandemic, but it’s clear that we need to stay vigilant through the spring. Once again that requires an alteration to the academic calendar,” said DePerro.
