Poll

How are you feeling about Whitman's plan for a hybrid learning model (some in-person, some online classes) in the spring?

I am concerned about this resulting in further spread of COVID-19, and I think Whitman should remain online.
I think Whitman has proper precautions in place to do so safely, and it seems like a good decision which offers many different options.
I am not concerned about in-person classes spreading COVID, but I am concerned about students partying.
