How the university responded to the pandemic
For the majority of the 2020-2021 academic year, the UVic campus was essentially deserted slackliners were absent from the quad, there was never a queue at BiblioCafé, residence parties were prohibited, and classrooms and offices were mostly dark and empty. The normal crowds of thousands of Blundstone-wearing and Patagonia-sporting students were nowhere to be seen.
After a year of online school, UVic has announced that the university is preparing to return to in-person learning once again in the fall.
As students return to campus, questions remain about how UVic will respond to the pandemic. Although the future is debatably more uncertain than ever, UVic’s response to COVID-19 over the past year can give the university community some indication of where we might be heading.
