Nolle-p (the introduction for new students) is over! I'm honestly kind of sad about it. All my classes are online and I will have a sharp reduction in human contact from now on throughout the fall. The university is prioritizing new students when it comes to on campus education since there isn't enough space when everyone needs to distance. The pandemic-proofing ended up being mostly about having groups of students from the same class interacting, and keeping a distance to all other groups. It was quite different from my nolle-p where one of the defining features were big crowds. But it was nice, the organizers did a fantastic job. It's seldom your life ends up meeting in such a defined circle, last year I was new - this year I am guiding the new.
