By Greg Bluestein

Gov. Brian Kemp ordered the closure of all public elementary, secondary and post-secondary schools in Georgia starting Wednesday through the end of the month as the state scrambles to contain the coronavirus pandemic. The governor ordered the closure of K-12 schools and colleges on the same day state lawmakers voted to ratify a public health emergency that granted him sweeping new powers to mandate closures and suspend state laws.

All spring sports stopped for Georgia Southern

Mike Anthony

It’s been a bit of a week for Georgia Southern Athletics. On March 5, word broke that the school had found a new athletic director in Jared Benko. The next few days were all gravy for Eagle teams. GS Baseball rolled to a sweep over Valparaiso and the softball team started out its conference schedule on a high note before the men’s basketball team rallied for a thrilling 16-point comeback in the final 10 minutes of a Sun Belt tournament win at Hanner Fieldhouse. By 9 p.m. on Wednesday, the momentum had reached a fever pitch. GS Baseball had won its second game over Georgia in as many nights to sweep a three-game season series over the third-ranked Bulldogs. At the same time, men’s basketball was finishing off a dominating win at Georgia State to advance to the Sun Belt semifinals. And then it all stopped. Just minutes after Wednesday’s big wins for Georgia Southern came word that the National Basketball Association was suspending its season due to concerns of the growing coronavirus outbreak, and the landslide of cancellations was only getting started.

How College Radio Is Responding Amid Coronavirus-Prompted Campus Closures

Student-run stations are closing, playing reruns, and exploring ways to broadcast on campuses without students

As local governments respond to the coronavirus pandemic, universities are closing and large public gatherings are being banned in an effort to quell any further spread of the disease. As many colleges are pivoting from in-person to online courses, student-run radio stations across the nation are making efforts to stay on the air. Depending on the severity of the outbreak, some stations are letting DJs host their shows remotely. In the worst cases, stations have fallen back on automated bots or have temporarily shut down entirely. Here’s how some major college radio stations are reacting in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

WUOG (University of Georgia)

As University of Georgia temporarily suspended classes for two weeks, the WUOG facilities closed down as well. “We are fortunate enough to be able to maintain our operations as a station via our automation system, so we can stay in compliance with our FCC licenses,” WUOG general manager Claire Torak told Pitchfork. “Essentially, we’re still on the airwaves, just without DJs.” Torak said they’re hoping to reopen the studio after classes start back up, but can continue automated playback for a longer period if needed.

WREK (Georgia Tech)

Georgia Tech’s classes have been canceled until March 29, and remote classes will begin after March 30. Students have been strongly encouraged to leave campus. WREK Atlanta announced that regular operations have been suspended. “We will continue to broadcast music, however, your favorite specialty shows will not be on air until normal operations resume,” the station announced. “We will notify the community once we are able to resume normal operations. Thank you for your continued support during this time.”

University Of Georgia Works To Develop A Vaccine for Coronavirus

By BLIS SAVIDGE

The University of Georgia is collaborating with Rhode Island based company EpiVax to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. Director of the Center of Vaccine and Immunology Dr. Ted Ross will head up the project at his lab in Athens. He and his team have received the COVID-19 virus and are ready to begin their work in a high-security containment facility to produce and test a possible vaccine.

Coronavirus vaccine coming. But with science, it’s a matter of time

As researchers search for a vaccine, experts warn it could take years to develop.

Author: Ryan Kruger

The race is on in labs across the globe to find a vaccine for the coronavirus. M.G. Finn, the head of Georgia Tech’s School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said possible vaccines are already in the works. “I’m quite confident that effective vaccine candidates will emerge,” Finn said. “That’s not the hard part. The hard part is you have to test it.” The testing could take months – even years. “The fastest we will see a vaccine be ready is one to two years – probably closer to the two years mark than the one year mark,” Finn said. “And that is remarkably fast,” he added.

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College creates department of Education/Wellness

From staff reports

Students who want to become teachers now have a home in the newly created Department of Education and Wellness in the School of Arts and Sciences at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Jerry Baker, ABAC’s provost and vice president for academic affairs, said the new department fits perfectly with the plan to have more students majoring in education at ABAC. “Our goal was to create a unit to give this group a home,” Baker said. “We have moved them around a lot but now they have their own department and a lot more visibility.” Matthew Anderson, dean of the ABAC School of Arts and Sciences, said he welcomes the new department, which also includes the faculty members in the physical education area.

Rick Franza: Complete education includes financial literacy

By Richard M. Franza, Ph.D., Guest Columnist

Rick Franza advocates for real-world financial lessons for college students.

I have worked in Higher Education for over twenty years, which coincides with the raising of my two daughters, who will turn 22 and 20, this spring. My older daughter was born as I was transitioning from an Air Force career to becoming a college professor. With both young ladies currently in college, I have gained much perspective concerning higher education from the eyes of both the provider (me) and the consumer (my daughters). One of the things that I have learned from both perspectives is the need for more personal finance education at the college level or prior. The Federal Government agrees. In its 2019 report, the U.S. Financial Literacy and Education Commission (under the auspices of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) indicates that a lack of financial education and financial literacy is common among the higher education student population and recommends that “institutions of higher education require mandatory financial literacy courses….” I have been fortunate to have participated recently on a University System of Georgia committee that is helping to redesign its General Education. “GenEd” is the part of a college education that a student takes no matter his or her academic major.

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College to host truck/tractor pull

From staff reports

Trucks and tractors of all shapes and sizes will rev their engines and roar down the track on March 26-28 at the AET Truck and Tractor Pull sponsored by the Agricultural Engineering Technology Club at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The event is open to all students, faculty, staff and the public. During the event, trucks and tractors pull a weighted sled down a dirt track. The weight moves toward the front of the sled as the vehicle pulls it down the track, making it more difficult to pull. Trucks and tractors are divided into weight classes. ABAC has long had two pulling tractors, Altered Allis and Cracker Jack. Recently, the AET Club has been building a pulling truck for the 4WD 6000 pro street class. On March 26, ABAC students and the community can participate in the amateur night that begins at 7 p.m.

Ireland minister: Reflecting on partnership with Georgia, Savannah

This is still the day to celebrate Ireland and Savannah. Today, I should be marching in 196th Savannah St Patrick’s Day Parade, one of the world’s most glorious celebrations of Irish heritage, but the looming threat from COVID-19 stopped the parade and required me to return home early to support Ireland’s campaign against the disease. We have not witnessed a global pandemic of this kind in living memory. This is unchartered territory. The decision to cancel today’s parade was painful but 100% correct. At this time, we need to take action to secure the health and well being of the most vulnerable among us. However, serious as these challenges are, they need not stop us from reflecting on and celebrating the Ireland-Georgia and Wexford-Savannah partnerships on St Patrick’s Day. These partnerships have been built on the firm foundation of shared history and tradition and have grown strong thanks to the work put in on both sides of the Atlantic by civic, academic and commercial leaders. As an Irish government minister and elected public representative of the people of County Wexford, I have supported these partnerships every step of the way, through the development of the Wexford-Savannah Research Axis from 2015, the Wexford-Savannah Tradebridge from 2018 and the opening of Georgia Southern University’s Learning Center in Wexford in November 2019. The deep commitment of Wexford County Council, the Savannah Economic Development Authority, Georgia Southern University, the City of Savannah and the Government of Ireland have been essential to the success of these initiatives.

Savannah Irish trace heritage back to old country

When it comes to Irish immigration to America and Savannah, many people point to the potato famine of 1845. “If it seems there are a lot of folks in Savannah with connections to the Emerald Isle, you are not mistaken,” said Dr. Howard Keeley, the Director of Irish Studies at Georgia Southern. The Irish native says that an 1860 Federal census of Savannah shows a quarter of the free population was born in Ireland. When you count those with Irish roots, that number grew to 35 percent, putting it on par with New York and Boston.

UGA researchers report possible breakthrough in Parkinson’s treatment

By: Charlene Betourney

Researchers at the University of Georgia’s Regenerative Bioscience Center and their colleagues have found that “natural killer” white blood cells could guard against the cascade of cellular changes that lead to Parkinson’s disease and help stop its progression. Natural killer (NK) cells are white blood cells that can kill tumors without being “told” from the body to do so. NK cells provide the first line of defense against invasion or a virus and are equipped with activating receptors that can sense cellular stress and identify cells that have been altered due to infection. “Right now there’s no available therapy to modify or stop the progression of Parkinson’s,” said lead author Jae-Kyung “Jamise” Lee (pictured above), assistant professor in UGA’s College of Veterinary Medicine. “This would be the first NK study to show the possibility of actually stopping the disease.”

Considering Dental Implants? Consider Valley Brook Dental

Dr. Joseph Gurecka has been placing dental implants at Valley Brook Dental, LLC for the last 15 years. His passion is to use dental implants to help patients connect with something that they lost: a confident smile, the ability to chew, or missing teeth. To accomplish this in the facial esthetic zone requires a degree of expertise that only comes from experience. To accomplish this Dr. Gurecka utilizes some of the most advanced techniques for dental implant placement and bone regeneration to achieve lasting results while simplifying the procedure and increasing the reliability of the treatment. Sometimes a patient with a broken tooth or a fractured root can have the tooth removed and the implant placed at the same time, even with a temporary crown to fill the space in their smile! …To keep up with this rapidly changing field Dr. Gurecka recently completed a 9 month Implant program at Augusta University in Georgia, home to the Georgia Dental School.

Robert Nerem, field-leading Georgia Tech scientist, dies at 82

By Martha Anne Tudor

When Bob Nerem was 6 years old, he had a talk with his dad he never forgot. “He came home from first grade and said some of the children have black skin,” said Marilyn Nerem, his wife of 41 years. “And his dad said, ‘Skin has two sides, one white and one black. Some people wear the black side out and some wear the white.’” Bob Nerem, a first-generation American, went on to receive awards and accolades from around the world for pioneering work in regenerative medicine and bioengineering. But he never lost focus on the dignity and value of human beings, regardless of race or background, his family and colleagues said. …Robert “Bob” Nerem, founding director of the Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience at Georgia Tech, died March 6 at Emory Hospital after a long illness. He was 82. A celebration of life will be held later at Park Springs Retirement Community in Stone Mountain.

How to Get New Students When Campus Tours Are Out of the Question

Colleges turn to online programs and other efforts to make up for loss of access to campuses. Some colleges are also extending the May 1 deadline.

By Scott Jaschik

…The coronavirus situation is forcing colleges to teach online for a few weeks or the rest of the semester. Budgets are tight. People are stressed. But for admissions, the timing is just as colleges are rolling out their days for admitted applicants. Most colleges have canceled these days (along with most student activity on their campuses) and are left to recruit students without what for most of them is one of their best assets: their physical campuses. This is a crucial time of year for many students. Anci noted that Kenyon has several events — since scrapped — on campus for high school juniors. But it’s the high school seniors — next year’s freshmen — who are the particular focus. A few colleges have extended the deadline to reply to admissions offers from May 1 to June 1.

Colleges Emptied Dorms Amid Coronavirus Fears. What Can They Do About Off-Campus Housing?

By Bennett Leckrone

…Universities’ jurisdiction usually extends only as far as the borders of campus and to university-owned off-campus housing. While officials can do everything in their power to keep students from gathering, their enforcement authority is limited. Some institutions have taken a more aggressive approach to limiting the spread of the virus in off-campus housing. In an email to parents over the weekend, the University of Pennsylvania said students in both on-campus and off-campus housing are expected to vacate by March 17. The university reportedly reached out to landlords for help, calling it a “public-health necessity.” But some landlords told The Daily Pennsylvanian, a campus newspaper, that they hadn’t heard from the university. Others assured their residents that the UPenn officials couldn’t take away off-campus housing.

Students Organize Their Own Aid Networks

As campus closures strain low-income students, undergrads at over a dozen universities have started large “mutual aid” networks and fundraisers to defray costs.

By Lilah Burke

Last Thursday night, Noah French, a sophomore studying aerospace engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, couldn’t sleep. The university had announced that day that operations were suspended to slow the spread of the new coronavirus. “I was really anxious that whole day,” he said. “Right now students don’t know what the future holds. They don’t know how they’re going to be able to pay their rent, pay their utilities.” French had seen a spreadsheet made by students at Middlebury College circulating on Twitter. Middlebury had encouraged students early last week to leave the campus. The sheet was a way to coordinate “mutual aid,” where students in need could post what would help them out and others who had money, storage space or free housing to offer could post their contact information. …Students at over a dozen universities have started similar spreadsheets, Facebook groups and resource documents. As more campuses close across the county, these resources continue to grow.

How to Lead in a Crisis

Disaster advice from my time as president of Tulane University during Hurricane Katrina

By Scott Cowen

“Disaster advice” became a part of my role after my team and I led Tulane University through the most disruptive time in its history, after Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005. The questions that I’m fielding these days in light of the novel-coronavirus pandemic mainly boil down to this: What to expect? What to do? The challenge with the current crisis is the amount of uncertainty. After the floodwaters had receded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the immediate threat was over. There was despair, disorientation, and panic, but the storm had passed. We could focus on rebuilding and healing. Those of us at Tulane and our fellow New Orleans citizens quickly had a sense of the physical damage and human toll, and we knew it would take years to fully recover. The coronavirus pandemic is very different. It is affecting our entire society, and we don’t know when it will be over, how long it will take until we feel safe again, or when we’ll be able to return to business as usual. But nonetheless, day by day, we must build a pathway for recovery and renewal. This is what leaders do. If they don’t, they are not up for the task. In times of crisis, you do not have the luxury of ineffective leadership. What the higher-education sector needs now more than ever is an abundance of resilience, courage, and sound decision-making.

‘I Will Survive’ Teaching Online

By Colleen Flaherty

First Gloria Gaynor showed us how to wash our hands properly while singing “I Will Survive.” Now Michael Bruening, an associate professor of history and political science at Missouri University of Science and Technology, is serenading professors with an online teaching-themed cover of Gaynor’s hit. Bruening’s lyrics, below, are tongue-in-cheek. They’ve nevertheless rung true with thousands who have shared his video via Facebook and YouTube. Bruening said that his university was planning to begin remote instruction on Wednesday, but he learned late Friday that all University of Missouri institutions had to bump up their timelines to Monday. “So we literally did have just two days to adjust, as stated in the song,” he said, though “I have to say the communication from our administration and especially the support provided to faculty by our educational technology support teams has been outstanding.”

Financial Aid Frustrations and College Completion

By Paul Fain

Roughly three-quarters of former college students said a frustrating financial aid experience affected their academic performance in college, as well as their access to college and program completion, according to the results of a survey conducted by Gallup and CampusLogic, a company focused on student financial success. The report is a collection of data on the financial aid needs, experiences and their impact on the college outcomes of more than 25,000 American adults who either completed their program or earned some college credits but no degree. The survey found that 72 percent of respondents who did not complete said the experience of funding their college education hurt their academic performance.

Ed-Tech Vendors Confront Sudden Opportunity and Risk

With the coronavirus outbreak forcing colleges to close campuses and move classes online, vendors face sudden upside. But the biggest beneficiaries are likely different in the long and short terms.

Will Trump’s Promise Really Help Borrowers?

President Trump got attention for promising to waive the interest on student loans. But experts say it’s unclear if borrowers will pay less. Or even if it’s legal.

By Kery Murakami

Three days after President Trump announced he is waiving the interest on federal student loans “to help students and their families” during the coronavirus crisis, the Education Department hasn’t released any details about the plan, leaving unanswered questions about whether borrowers’ monthly payments will actually go down and if the president even has the authority to make such a decision. While waiving interest might help borrowers in the long term, it won’t do much to help those who’ve lost their jobs during the crisis if they still have to pay the same amount every month, said Ben Miller, vice president for postsecondary education at the liberal think tank the Center for American Progress.

Georgia restaurants will remain open in the face of the global coronavirus pandemic, at least for the time being. The office of Governor Brian Kemp on Monday is expected to release a statement that does not call for the mandatory closure of restaurants and bars in the state, a source told Atlanta Business Chronicle. As of Sunday evening, Kemp did not plan to close Georgia restaurants and bars at any point in the near future. However, reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak is fluid. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Sunday announced a citywide state of emergency and a ban on gatherings of more than 250 people through March 31. Within an hour of the announcement, Bottoms offered an update noting the Centers for Disease Control’s latest recommendation to prohibit gatherings of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks.

No Family Left Behind: In the Wake of the Coronavirus

Megan Anderson

Blythe Keeler Robinson

President and CEO, Sheltering Arms

As destabilizing as the virus is for many people, it is devastating for underserved families with little or no savings. Hourly wages are halted, and there are very few resources to continue meals for the children and utilities for the household in times of crisis. At Sheltering Arms, 90% of our families receive financial assistance to attend our program. Many of them live at or below the poverty level, working hourly and low-wage jobs, living paycheck to paycheck and having to make tough decisions for their household. Child care centers and schools have closed, following the guidance of Governor Kemp, to incorporate social distancing and reduce the risk of exposure to the virus; but it creates a ripple effect. When there is no available child care, parents can’t work. No work means no pay. No pay means the inability to pay rent, provide groceries or take care of health needs. Here’s something to think about: In Sheltering Arms centers, our children receive a nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack each day, and our youngest learners have access to diapers, wipes and formula. For one month, that’s 40 meals, 20 snacks and about 120 diapers for every child. Taking everything into consideration, that’s about $500 per child. These are huge costs for families. Thankfully, we are seeing the community come together for good:
