Scenes of jubilation aboard an EasyJet plane travelling from Gatwick to Faro
Words by Foreign Affairs Producer Natalie Wright
After the will they won’t they’ of last week, the Portuguese government finally announced on Friday that it would welcome British tourists from one minute past midnight this Monday morning.
And so, we find ourselves on board the 9.35am EasyJet flight from Gatwick to Faro, to speak to the very first international holidaymakers from England in many months.
The flight is almost full, no hangover here from the indecision of the past days - and those who have decided to flee to the warmer climes of the Algarve are, on the whole, very excited.
Lee University Planning Return To Normal By Fall 2021 Friday, May 14, 2021
Lee University announced in a communication to its faculty that the campus is planning a return to fully on-campus, normal operations by the fall semester.
“We are excited about the strong possibility of returning this fall to more of the full Lee experience our students enjoy,” said Lee President Dr. Mark Walker. “All indicators point this direction, and we are committed to doing all we can to ensure a safe, yet less restrictive, campus environment.”
Lee switched to virtual learning mid-semester in spring 2020, at the outset of the pandemic. Practices were later put in place allowing the university to switch to a hybrid format for this past school year.
