Throughout the history of Associated Students, there have been years when our staff mission and values have been profoundly tested by tragedies and unexpected challenges. The disruptions caused by the arrival of the corona virus as winter quarter was coming to a close were unprecedented.<\/p>\n

In the interest of slowing the spread of the virus and ultimately saving lives, Chancellor Yang and the UCSB administration in conjunction with the UC Office of President made the painful decision to move all instruction online, ask that all students, who can, move out immediately, and that only a thin skeleton crew of staff remain on campus. These orders preceded the order from California governor Gavin Newsom for everyone in California to shelter in place, only leave home to run critical errands, and practice social distancing when in public spaces.<\/p>\n

Working with Student Affairs, AS staff made the necessary adjustments to work from home, a multi-pronged effort that included finding ways to continue serving students remotely as well as possible. This effort included learning new online communication softwares, conducting online meetings, and developing programing that continued to serve students and the educational mission of the university. AS staff proved their caring and resilience daily during this terrible and relentlessly challenging time!<\/p>\n
