In any normal year, May might be one of the most active months on campus. As the weather warms up, students fill the courtyard of the Science 2 building. Instead, the campus is almost entirely empty. The parking lot has only a few cars. Since classes shifted online in mid-March due to COVID-19, students were urged to go home.
Most of the staff and faculty are working remotely. However, “certain employees designated as critical to infrastructure or public health and safety” continue to report in-person a few times a week. Some of our staff continues to ensure that samples collected in the research labs are properly maintained while others ensure the plants in the greenhouse receive the proper attention.
Meet some of the College of Science and Mathematics staff that are helping our campus during COVID-19.
- Sonia Ortiz Romero, administrative support coordinator, College of Science and Mathematics
- Melissa A Pérez, assistant to the dean, College of Science and Mathematics
- Wendy Cooper, instructional support technician, Biology Department
