VIDEO: Were Going to Get Through This
SDSU faculty members share encouraging messages for students.
In an effort to keep members of the San Diego State University community safe and healthy during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the university made the decision to shift to virtual instruction.
During this uncertain time, SDSU faculty have joined together to offer students heartening messages and advice — emphasizing community, resilience and a commitment to health.
“First, I want to let you know we really miss all of you students more than you know,” said Lance Larson, co-director of the SDSU Graduate Program in Homeland Security. “Our campus is resilient. Our communities are resilient. Our state is resilient, and our nation and all of the people within it are resilient.”
Many faculty members also shared the all-important advice to remain optimistic as the campus will persevere.
“This too will shall pass and our SDSU family will be stronger than ever,” said Virginia Loh-Hagan, director of the Liberal Studies program in the School of Teacher Education.
Anthropology professor and Director of the Center for Latin American Studies Ramona Pérez said, “We all need to hang in there, take care of each other, and we’re going to get through this.”
