Winter 2022 Message from the Chair
From Jennifer Keller:
After 18 months of fully remote teaching, some courses returned to face-to-face in fall, and more in spring. It’s still a work in progress, but it is nice to be in a classroom again and see our students in person. Obviously, we continue to adapt in order to assist all our students, but it finally feels like we are seeing progress toward something more “normal.”
Although Western saw a drop in enrollment in the freshman class of 2020-2021, along with most colleges and universities, we saw an increase in students this year. The journalism department was impacted, but not nearly as much as some others.
