HEY BOBCATS!
Hope you’re healthy and hunkering down. These are challenging times no doubt, but
we’re here to help you stay on track with your educational goals and are equipped
for this term with virtual learning methods and materials — and the support of the
entire College — to make things go as smoothly as possible. Thanks for your adaptability
throughout all this. We’re in it together.
Access to COCC's facilities will be restricted to faculty and staff only — with the
exception of the computer labs (see below). There will be remote instruction only,
with some exemptions related to health care programs (as outlined in the Governor’s
Executive Order), through at least April 28. Keep on scrolling (and hunkering), 'cats.

While The Broadside is an online-only publication, this term students in the virtual
publications lab and working for The Broadside will dive into stories that enlighten
readers on the impacts of COVID-19, including what the pandemic means for residence
life, how remote learning will work and what students think of all this. The Broadside
is poised to have a staff of eight student journalists for Spring term, up from just
two during Winter term. Check out the latest headlines at thebroadsideonline.com, visit The Broadside on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, or send along your story ideas and feedback: thebroadside.cocc@gmail.com.
