(KAYLA)
OLD DOMINION
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
MADE THEIR WAY BACK
TO CAMPUS TODAY
AFTER A DELAYED
OPENING BECAUSE OF
THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC.
NEW TONIGHT, 10 ON
YOUR SIDE'S MADISON
GLASSMAN SPOKE
WITH STUDENTS ABOUT
HOW HOW THEY FEEL
MOVING BACK IN.
STUDENTS AT ODU
MADE THEIR WAY TOO
CAMPUS READY TO
BEGIN A NEW -- AND
VERY DIFFERENT
SCHOOL YEAR.
SOT: "I'M REALLY
INTERESTED TO SEE
HOW THIS SEMESTER
PLAYS OUT."
THE UNIVERSITY HAS
PUT IN NEW SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS TO KEEP
THEIR COMMUNITY
SAFE SUCH AS THE
MONARCH WELLNESS
PROGRAM WHICH
REQUIRES ALL
STUDENTS, FACULTY
AND STAFF TO KEEP
TRACK OF ANY
SYMPTOMS THAT MAY
ARISE.
STUDENTS FIND
COMFORT IN THAT.
"THE COVID SCREENING
WHEN WE FIRST GOT
HERE WAS GOOD."
SOT: "I THINK THEY'RE
DOING AS BEST AS THEY
CAN. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR
EVERY STUDENT, BUT
THEY'VE BEEN VERY
COMMUNICATIVE WITH
ME."
VIDEOS HAVE GONE
VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA
RECENTLY SHOWING
COLLEGE STUDENTS
ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY NOT SOCIAL
DISTANCING,
THROWING PARTIES
AND IGNORING MASKS
MANDATES.
ODU STUDENTS TELL
ME THEY'RE REMAINING
CAUTIOUSLY
OPTIMISTIC.
SOT: "I ACTUALLY DO
FEEL LIKE THERE ARE
GOING TO BE A FEW
PARTIES-- TO BE
HONEST, YEAH. YEAH."
SOT: "NATURALLY,
WHEN A STUDENT FIRST
GETS TO COLLEGE,
THEY'RE GOING TO BE
QUITE INTERESTED IN
PARTYING SO, I'M VERY
WORRIED AND I THINK
THERE'S GOING TO BE A
LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
AREN'T GOING TO TAKE
IT AS SERIOUSLY AS
THEY SHOULD, BUT I
ALSO BELIEVE THERE'S
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
WILL TAKE IT
SERIOUSLY."
