COVID-19 Pandemic Reflections from the FIUTS Student Board

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted everyone and everything in ways none of us anticipated. As we prepare to return to in-person classes and programming at the University of Washington, FIUTS is very proud of all our students, all over the world, for persevering during these hard times. They have bravely navigated the shift to online school, work, and social connections, while at the same time confronting countless personal and political issues affecting them, our community, and the world.

We asked some students from the FIUTS 2020-2021 Student Board to share their personal takes on how COVID and virtual learning has affected them, their hopes for the future, and how FIUTS impacted their life during the past academic year. Watch the video below to hear their perspectives.

While we continue to wrestle with the challenges posed by the current phase of the pandemic, we are excited to get to interact with all of our unique community members in person again soon!
