Glory Johnson
Being a student athlete at Old Dominion University has taught me so many valuable life lessons, and it has been no different during this time of uncertainty in our world.

Christopher Wallace
In 2012 I began my journey at the Strome College of Business as an incoming sophomore transferring from TCC. I chose to major in finance due to my ever-increasing interest with business and investing at the time.

Tyler Harrell
The spring 2020 semester began with all the usual challenges and excitement one would expect for any graduating senior. I do not think any of us could have expected or fully planned for the dramatic sequence of events that subsequently unfolded. This has truly been a trying semester for me with having to abruptly move off campus and transition to a completely online platform within a matter of days.

Donna Krauss
This was the semester I decided to take two classes. As a full-time local government employee balancing my time is a daily challenge, but as I approached the half-way mark through my program, I thought I can do this! Mid-way through the semester the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Over these last six weeks, I have heard many people say we are all in this together and we are not alone, but it is not like that. We are all in the same storm, but not in the same boat. We each have our own perceptions and needs.
