What will college be like this fall? Evergreen, SPSCC and Saint Martin's make plans
After being forced to teach online during the COVID-19 pandemic, Saint Martin’s University, The Evergreen State College and South Puget Sound Community College are set to return this fall to something that more closely resembles the traditional college experience.
Evergreen and SPSCC expect to offer hybrid programs combining remote and in-person learning, while Saint Martin’s University is aiming for a return to the classroom this fall.
“We believe that with the guidance we have received from the Governor’s Office and the CDC that we can re-open campus and return to face-to-face instruction, while providing our community with a “safety first” philosophy,” said Saint Martin’s President Roy Heynderickx in a message to the community and students posted on the university website. However, the university is working on a contingency plan in case that isn’t possible.
How many students do they expect this fall? It’s still too early to tell, university spokeswoman Genevieve Canceko Chan said in an email. However, the school is trying to offer extra financial support for students. The traditional tuition deposit deadline for new students was moved to June 1 from May 1, and the university announced a major gift to the school on Thursday.
