Question: As of this date, in what ways has COVID-19 affected you at work / school / other?
In March 2020, I was a 4th year Brock Student and I was sent home to continue my semester and Fall 2020 semester remotely. I am now working full-time Jan. - Aug. 2021 as an HR Coordinator and work in person. It was a transition starting work in person again, and it is still not back to complete normal, as many HR tasks revolve around COVID policies and prevention in the workplace. In Sept. 2021, I will be starting my Masters at Brock. I am hoping that COVID will be in a better place to allow at least some students to be back in in-person classes. Of course, I will abide by all government rules and school policies surrounding COVID, but I hope that we get to have some in person classes for graduate school. I can imagine it will be very difficult to do this from home, and I frequently question myself and worry that my graduate school experience will be more difficult or worthless if done online. I trust Brock but I can't help but worry we will be in a worse place with the pandemic by September. I can only hope that things will improve, and in all honestly, I am still going to go to school in September, but I can't help but think about the future.
