We’re in the final stretch! The vice presidential debate at the U emphasizes how the election looms ever closer, so be sure to register to vote! This election will be one of the most consequential so do it ASAP! Also, don’t forget that part of the campus will be closed for the next two weeks for the debate, so we’ll all be online until then. We would LOVE to see photos of PRT faculty and students working and learning in outside parks and public lands! Stay healthy and keep social distancing!

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of our lives, and its’ latest impact has been felt at school. On campus restrictions and online classes have been difficult adjustments. PRT has been greatly limited with what can be done during the explorative trips it usually provides, but so have all other departments. Hours of Zoom calls, isolation, heavy readings, and essays have all been unfortunate but necessary compromises made at the U. Do you recognize a significant difference between online and in-person class participation? We miss you here at the campus! Until then, take a gander at the sights PRT classes have to offer, and be excited to sign up and get out there next year! (P.S. check out and their website for COVID-19 updates)
