Images capture campus in motion amid coronavirus pandemic, coursing swiftly behind masks
Norwich University Staff Photographer Mark Collier has seen scores of students experience college day-to-day in his 7½ years on campus. He’s captured them in class, on the march, gathered for meals, readying for life’s coming steps. This year, as the university adjusted to the coronavirus pandemic and new health and safety protocols, Collier said he frequently saw resilience in students as they minded distance, washed hands and wore masks. Everyone, he said, seemed to adopt the U.S. Marine Corps mantra: adapt, improvise and overcome.
Students found their groove and their joy, he said, especially on a gray, drizzly August day. In a show of bonding, team building and ingenuity, a small group of Corps of Cadets upperclassmen laid tarps on a hill by the baseball field and used the rainfall as a lubricant for a makeshift Slip ’N Slide.
