Prepping for the return to in person instruction also meant planning and implementing programs that were still engaging but also safe for our students.\u00a0 In August 2020, Campus Life welcomed students back to campus while still carrying out the Laker Week tradition.\u00a0 Laker Week is designed to be a weeklong of events to help students transition to LSSU and to meet new people.\u00a0 This year we knew the goals needed to be the same, but with a few modifications.\u00a0 Many of our student programs have involved an online component with all in-person events including a check-in for all participants in the case of the need for COVID-19 tracing.\u00a0 We successfully, thanks to our Lakers, completed Laker Week 2020 safely.<\/p>\n<p>To help protect our community, it was and still is important to keep our students on campus in an effort to limit COVID-19 cases.\u00a0 Campus Life was tasked at the start of the academic year, with ensuring that at least one program or student engagement opportunity occurred each day during the fall semester.\u00a0 At the end of October, we are proud to say that we are on our way to this accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>No one knows what the future holds, what we do know is that students at Lake Superior State University are resilient and they have grit. We know that by working together we can continue to provide a superior experience for our Lakers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"x-content-band-1\" class=\"x-content-band border-top border-left border-right border-bottom\" style=\"background-color: transparent; border:1px #d1d1d1 solid;\"><div class=\"x-container\"> <div  class=\"x-container max width\" > <h4  class=\"h-custom-headline h5 accent\" style=\"margin: 0;margin-bottom: 20px;\"><span>About the Author<\/span><\/h4><img src=\"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/10\/Sharmay-Wood.jpg\" alt=\"Sharmay Wood\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-410\" \/><span style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lssu.edu\/employee-directory\/?smid=8647\" target=\"new\">Sharmay Wood<\/a><br>Director of Campus Life and Laker Success, Web Specialist\r\n\r\n<\/span><p style=\"font-size: .9em; margin-top:15px;\"><\/p>\r\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div>\r\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OVID-19 has brought about interesting times in higher education.
