    Hybrid Classes: Hurting or Helping?

    With the new age of Internet capabilities, colleges all over have been offering online and in-person courses, and for a while now hybrid courses have started to become more and more popular.

Starting a new semester, the president of Blue Mountain College, Dr. McMillin, issued a plan for the college to keep everyone safe and healthy. Even though those on campus are following the rules, there is no guarantee that there will not be students or faculty who test positive for the virus. Within the first week of school starting back, several students tested positive. When one tests positive, Ms. De
