When University of Wisconsin-Stout moved to an alternative learning method in March of 2020 because of COVID-19, Erin O’Brien and Nathan Thompson left campus to finish their first years of college at home.
Having just completed their 2020-21 sophomore years, in which UW-Stout had about 50% in-person classes, they are reflecting on positive experiences but eagerly looking ahead. UW-Stout is planning for a normal fall semester to start the 2021-22 academic year, with in-person classes and activities.
“I am ecstatic to be attending live lectures and in-person events at Stout this fall. Hands-on learning is the reason I decided to enroll at UW-Stout, and I look forward to getting the most out of my education this year,” Thompson said.
