Earlier this month, on the heels of a semester that saw thousands of students, faculty and campus workers test positive for COVID-19, Mississippi colleges and universities reopened for spring. As students returned to their dorms, self-reported cases in college towns across the state jumped. 

With the spring semester getting into gear, Mississippi Today would like to hear your thoughts on how your school is handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Are you a student trying to navigate studying from home? A professor struggling to choose between teaching in-person and protecting your health? A campus worker who’s been laid off? We want to hear how the pandemic is affecting your semester. Share your thoughts with us by filling out the form below.
