Students at Home: Anthony Haimila

Anthony Haimila is a Liberal Arts major in his second semester at the Mount. He is currently taking 5 classes and doing work from his couch. Haimila finds it is strange working off campus because he is a social person and now he can’t do much socially. He is also worried about his Statistics class because they are moving to Zoom and he finds it hard to hear his instructor over the website. 

As for graduation, Haimila feels disappointed for his friends graduating, and feels as time goes on the college could potentially re-evaluate and have an in person graduation, as the situation is constantly evolving. read more

“Hi! It’s me, The Glitter Slinger, in my new space. Quite a change for this early childhood education professor, but thinking of new ways to stay connected with my students and help them to work with the families and young children they serve.

Peace and glitter,

P.S. Keep calm and wash hands! Notice the glitter hand sanitizer. A gift from a student last Christmas.”

A Message from Student Life

By editorialteam on March 24, 2020

Hi All,

As many of you are beginning online classes this week and others are preparing to begin those that have transitioned to online next week, I wanted to encourage each of you to stay connected with one another through email, social media, chat rooms, etc.

In an effort to stay in touch with each of you I will continue my weekly Student Life Updates each Monday morning. My hope is to offer tidbits of helpful information, funny stories, photos, links and more. Additionally, I will include a weekly contest to give students an opportunity to stay engaged at MWCC, take a little break from academics, and maybe even win some prizes! read more
