Ep 2: College in Quarantine: 1 Year Later

It's officially been a year since California shutdown and quarantine. CSUMB transitioned into online classes, students, faculty and members were struggling to adjust the "new normal" for the school year. In this episode, Valerie brings in a conversation with OC3 interns, Jesus and Myra, and Dr. Scott Waltz, a Liberal Studies professor. They discuss about their different experiences and adjustments with online classes, how they motivate themselves and to others, and what they did during the summer. They also discuss their hopes for returning back on campus for Fall 2021, with the precautions the university may be taking (wearing a mask, socially distancing, etc).
