Socially Distanced Activities
While the “new normal” has meant changing how we socialize, it shouldn’t mean excluding fun and friends from college life. Students are encouraged to make informed decisions about what to do and who they are engaging with. For example, sticking with a “pandemic pod,” a group of less than 10 that limit social interactions to one another, is a great way to be cautious when socializing.
Here’s a list of social distancing ideas to consider with friends. While exploring, make sure to wear a mask, keep your distance and avoid large groups.
