After a year and a half of remote instruction due to the Covid-19 pandemic, students across the University have returned to campus for in-person courses. Douglass is moving forward with in-person instruction with the safety of the college community at the forefront of its strategy. Throughout the fall 2021 semester, Douglass will offer students a hybrid schedule of both in-person and remote opportunities.
The Douglass Global Village’s La Casa, will be holding "Picnic Con Los Amigos," a celebration in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, on October 10, 2021 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the Jameson Courtyard. At the picnic, there will be Bachata lessons, giveaways, and a keynote speaker. All Douglass students are invited to attend.
Meryle Mahrer Kaplan was in my first class on the first day of my first week at Douglass College. English 101 with Robert Crozier. I got a C—Meryle probably got an A. We were friends for 57 years. It is hard to find the words to describe a lifelong friendship. They are indistinguishable from getting up in the morning and looking at yourself in the mirror. No matter where, when, or who you are with or what you are doing, a lifelong friend is beside you. She knows your parents and the backstory that made you who you are and for me, Meryle accepted every mistake in judgment, every talent unsung, every effort failed and every milestone no matter how forgettable.
Douglass is excited to welcome the Class of 2025 to campus. At Welcome Days this past month, incoming students were introduced to the College community through activities, student panels, and more. Hear from members of the incoming Class of 2025 below!
