It was a beautiful September day, and students took full advantage, relaxing on Cross Campus like it was 2019. “We’ve taken several giant steps back to normal,” says Margaret Clark, head of Trumbull College. “Students from different colleges are mixing, there are in-person classes, the dining halls are no longer grab-and-go, we’re out on Cross Campus. It feels completely different.” Even though (at press time) indoor mask mandates and limitations on the size of groups and on campus visitors have remained in place? Yes, says Clark. “We’re all
happier.”
