It has been more than four weeks since Ball State students last saw their classmates and professors, in person, on campus as a result of the pandemic. Final exams for the Spring semester are at the end of this month, barely two weeks away. Time ticks onward, problems are being faced one at a time, plans as to how to teach various classes have been drafted, re-drafted, and written, again.  Summer classes at Ball State will be all online, but then comes the Fall Semester. Then what?

The same questions are being exhaustively mulled over by faculties around the world. So we will start again with our part of the world and again hear from Ball State President Geoff Mearns about the institution’s progress through the fog of the pandemic.
