On March 11, 2020, DePaul President A. Gabriel Esteban announced that the upcoming spring quarter would be almost entirely remote, due to growing fears regarding the potential spread of Covid-19 on campus.
âIn the interest of the health and safety of our community, DePaul has decided to take proactive, immediate steps to encourage social distancing â a practice that is encouraged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to limit the spread of Covid-19, or coronavirus,â he said in an email to the DePaul community.
In The DePauliaâs initial coverage of this news, we noted that it was âunclear if the universityâs decision was set in stone.â Over a year has passed since the announcement and the DePaul community remains largely virtual, with a majority of courses, organizations and resources being offered in a digital setting.
