Summer is Gone

Today, our teaching team is finalising the grades for our service-learning course which runs through the Spring Term to the Summer Term.  We had originally planned to take the teams to Cambodia, Rwanda and Tanzania in May, June and July. Everything will eb finished by the end of July.  We could take a break in August, and then come back fresh in September for the new school year.  



But the coronavirus made it impossible to travel. Things got delayed again and again.  We ended up carrying out the service projects through the Internet, with children in Hong Kong, Vietnam and Cambodia, throughout July and August.  We must finalise the students’ grades to get ready for the new school year. 



In the mean time, orientation for the incoming students has already started, online of course. We have worked through summer.  And the new school year is starting already.  


This has been a very strange year.  We have not had classes on campus since early November 2019.  We do not know when we will have students on campus again.  What is a university campus without students?
