[The Daily Orange]: Professors host online forum to discuss coronavirus

During the coronavirus-caused COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. in early 2020, Syracuse University suspended all its residential classes and transformed into online sessions. Students were asked to go back home, while many international especially Chinese students remained on campus. The Chinese studies program at SU holds this online forum to address the concerns & difficulties these students might have on March 26, 2020.

About 40 Syracuse University students, faculty and staff participated in an online forum on Thursday to share their concerns and experiences amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Several professors from SU’s Chinese Studies minor hosted the event via Zoom. The forum aimed to make Chinese students feel more welcome at the university and to foster connection with non-Chinese students, said Gareth Fisher, director of the Chinese Studies program.
