1 week ago by WilkesU Musical theatre major @kris_tjornhom , along with all of his classmates in Jazz dance class, were practicing hard and looking forward to the spring dance concert, his last as a senior, when COVID-19 changed those plans. When his performing arts professor and the choreographer of the show, Lynne Esgro, recommended he make a video, he agreed so he could "capture this moment for all of us and spread some positivity during these hard times."

Though we anticipated the need to maintain physical distance until COVID-19 peaked in our area, this new time frame provides unfortunate clarity about just how long this period of separation could extend. It is becoming increasingly clear that we cannot hold commencement on May 16. This is not what any of us wanted, but it is…
