The spring semester will be memorable for years to come because students completed almost half the semester remotely due to COVID-19. While this transition was difficult for all students involved , the senior class was most impacted by the situation . "So as far as this semester, COVID has made it more difficult with classes and actually staying up to beat with them," Anthony Mummert said. "Also it's made it harder for the last goodbyes with our friends and stuff like that as we are moving on and graduating." Mummert is a senior nursing major, and this transition has made the job hunt more difficult. "The fact that they are doing so many hiring freezes right now has put additional stress along with our crazy exams that we are trying to just work into the whole system ," Mummert said. While this time has been stressful, there have been a few unexpected blessings involved in the situation as well, and the university family continued to maintain community - especially through Zoom.
