After spring break this year, the college moved to what we called alternative delivery to allow for remote instruction. Although the college’s alternative delivery strategy was seeded in an intense and confusing time, what grew out of it has significantly transformed the college for the better. When we launched into alternative delivery, it quickly became apparent how resilient and incredibly productive we could all be despite the circumstances.

When I was asked to be the 2020 commencement faculty marshal for Waubonsee Community College, I was truly honored because commencement is my very favorite day of the school year. I envisioned myself leading Waubonsee faculty into the Field House followed by each of you as graduates walking in while your family and friends proudly watch. Then the crisis we never saw coming came. Coronavirus changed all of our lives and plans.

The month of May is a wonderful time for many college students. Graduates feel a sense of elation as they move on to the next phase of their academic or career journeys and other students enjoy a sense of accomplishment for all they have done in the year. We celebrate with all of those students.

All of Waubonsee Community College’s summer classes will be conducted online and through alternative delivery methods.

Unprecedented. I feel like almost everything I read anymore has this word somewhere in the first sentence. It’s true. These are unprecedented times for all of us.

In Student Development we are working hard to make sure we can maintain the services students need and want to be successful.
