ELLISVILLE \u2013 Â鶹ֱ²¥ students have returned to campus for the traditional campus life experience, including face-to-face classes. The fall semester began August 10, with all University-Parallel (academic) courses being taught completely online through Friday, September 4, to help lessen the spread of COVID-19. While some career and technical students and some students taking medical courses cautiously met on campus for the last month, most students waited until after the Labor Day holiday to return to campus. Students entering campus are still required to check-in at one of the 21 Health Stations before going anywhere on campus, including dorm rooms. Most students like Greene County\u2019s Joshua Cook said they don\u2019t mind the extra level of protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have loved being back on campus! I\u2019m so thankful Jones is taking every precaution to give us a safe and enjoyable school year!\u201d said the sophomore business major from Leakesville.<\/p>\n

Like Cook, sophomores, Caidyn Crowder of Ellisville, and McKay \"\"<\/a>Lee Bray of Leakesville are happy to be back living on campus and taking face-to-face classes. They said their science labs and classes are better \u201cin person\u201d but they appreciated the extra efforts their instructors made ensuring they were successful in their virtual learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am really glad to be back in class, seeing my teachers,\u201d said Bray. \u201cJones\u2019 science instructors did a great job of handling and overcoming the additional challenges of providing lab experiences, safely. I also appreciate they were open to our suggestions and that is what I love about Jones! They really want you to succeed!\u201d<\/p>\n

The biology majors, Bray and Crowder said they also really enjoy taking early morning strolls on campus before their classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a return to \u2018normal\u2019 for us, waking up on campus in our dorm room, enjoying a walk around the lake before classes. I\u2019m really excited to be back!\u201d said Crowder.<\/p>\n

Classes requiring face-to-face instruction and hands-on training, are meeting in smaller groups and students are spaced six feet apart in classrooms. Check out the Â鶹ֱ²¥ website at www.jcjc.edu<\/strong><\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
