Travel bans, online classes have international students worried Z ach Go shor n S taff Repo rter @ z achxgo s h

The decision from Oklahoma State University to transition online for two weeks after spring break leaves international students concerned about the semester.

As cases of COVID-19 have spread across the globe into the U.S., increasing the measures taken to prevent the spread of the virus. This includes several countries going into mandated quarantine, bans on international travel and the recent decision by many universities, including OSU, to transition everything to online classes.

This has left international students studying in Amer-

ica in a tough predicament: many cannot travel home for spring break, either because of travel bans or the fear of being infected. The university is strongly advising not leaving the country, especially for international students.

“Our office is discouraging (international travel) because we don’t know what it’s going to be like when they land over there, wherever it is,” said Tim Huff, the director of International Students and Scholars. “We don’t know if they’ll go into quarantine on that side, don’t know if the embassy or consulate offices are going to be open if they have any issues, don’t know if they’ll be quarantined whenever they come back. We’re advising students not to go.”

Asad Rahman is an international student from India getting his master’s degree in MIS. He said because of the virus, he won’t be going home for break. However, he said he has a more pressing concern.

“The worst thing that I’m feeling because of this is Zach Goshorn/O’COLLY that the job market is very International students have changed their plans over the bad these days,” Rahman said. “All the companies are travel bans and the fear of getting sick. freezing their hiring.

OSU students bemoan, celebrate online classes Sh e y e nne M itch e ll

Staf f Repo rt er @ sheym m 2 0 2 0

Concerning, stressful and relieving are just some of the words students used to describe Thursday morning after Oklahoma State University announced it will move to in-person classes online for two weeks after spring break because of the coronavirus.

It was made known to students, faculty and staff Tuesday that the University was considering closure of in-person classes for the two weeks after spring break, and it was made official in a statement from President Burns Hargis on Thursday.

The top priority this week for university decision makers was informing professors about transitioning to classes online and prepare them to be as flexible as possible, but this task is easier said than done for some courses.

Classes which include labs, hands on learning and class discussion will likely suffer the most in the transition to online teaching. OSU acknowledged this in a “coronavirus update” sent Thursday afternoon, encouraging students to remain flexible.

Taylor Frentz, an environmental science freshman, is most concerned about her chemistry lab.

going to function doing (chemistry) online,” Frentz said. “I’m not really sure what they’re going to do.”

This seems to be the big question for students taking labs. Autumn Gregg, an animal science and agricultural business senior, is asking the same question. Many of her professors canceled class because of the upcoming break, so she doesn’t know how her professors plan to adapt to this change.

“It’s annoying waiting to see what happens,” Gregg said.

The situation is different for Ethan McGill, an agricultural economics senior. Most of his classes will be largely

OSU announced Thursday it will move to online classes for two weeks after spring break. Students had mixed feelings about the decision.

unaffected by the transfer to online.

What he worries about most is motivation.

McGill said going to a physical classroom and having attendance grades are crucial accountability measures for his success.

He’s not sure how he’ll handle taking his same classes online.

Torie Richardson, an industrial engineering and management junior, is concerned about her life being disrupted in this way.

“I’m from Kansas City, so I’m wondering if I should go home or if I should stay here,” Richardson said. “And not being able to see my friends that I normally see in class-- which is not really a concern, but missing that community will be something to adjust to.”

Not everyone sees this time away from in-person classes as a loss. Biology sophomore Abby Mansfield said she’s thankful for this extra time away from class and for the university’s wise decision making.

“It’s a good idea since people will be traveling over spring break,” Mansfield said. “There’s obviously going to be people who are not going to pay attention to the travel warnings. I’m not too worried about [classes]. I have one lab, and I don’t know how that’s going to be handled yet, but I’m sure it will work out just fine.”

Moving to online classes is OSU’s latest effort to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak on campus.

The University has also canceled all international university-sponsored

travel, including most study abroad programs, and placed restrictions on non-essential domestic university-sponsored travel.

Many universities across the country have moved to online classes, including the University of Tulsa and the University of Oklahoma.

In a statement on the University’s COVID-19 information page, OSU encouraged students to remain flexible with the situation.

“OSU will follow the guidance of state and federal health organizations with regards to any closure recommendations,” the statement said. “This is a constantly evolving situation. Students should watch their email for continuing updates.”

Ripple effect of coronavirus in college sports J o se p h Fazio Staff Repo rt er @ Jo s ephD Fa z io

March 12, 2020: the day the college sports world stood still.

Athletes all over the country had their hearts broken when the NCAA tweeted that all winter and spring championships had been canceled.

“This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health, our ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing

decision by other entities,” the tweet said.

Thousands of hours of practice won’t result in hoisting a trophy.

It started Wednesday when the Ivy League canceled all remaining spring sports.

Similar to Dwight D. Eisenhower’s domino theory, the Ivy League was the first domino to fall in college sports.

The SEC became the first Power 5 conference to suspend sports until March 29th.

The Pac-12 and ACC soon followed by suspending all sports until further notice.

On Thursday afternoon, the Big 12 announced all sports would be suspended

On Thursday, the NCAA announced the cancellation of all winter and spring championships.

However, nobody could’ve guessed what had happened next: all spring championships were canceled.

It’s not just a few championship that were canceled.

More than 15 championship were canceled, which affects

Within minutes, the NCAA dropped a bomb on the sports world.

Many fans assumed the men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling tournaments would be canceled.

thousands of athletes.

Oklahoma State was slated to host the NCAA men’s and women’s tennis tournaments in May at Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center.

The No. 12-ranked Cowgirls boast the No. 23 and No. 49-ranked singles players as well as the No. 5 doubles tandem of Lisa Marie Rioux and Ayumi Miyamoto.

The No. 21 Cowboys have the top-rated doubles team in Matej Vocel and Dominik Kellovsky.

None of them will be able to play for a national title on their home court. All they can hope for is to bring home a Big 12 championship.

Note that the NCAA tennis championships don’t start for another two months.

The College Softball World Series, held in Oklahoma City, starts a month after the tennis national championships. The Cowgirls won’t have a chance to repeat its trip to the CSWS. Similar to the men’s and women’s tennis teams and all other spring sports, Cowgirl softball can end at best with a Big 12 title.

Will seniors receive another year of eligibility? That is unknown.

But what is known is that in a matter of hours, the coronavirus has effectively killed college sports.

Cowboy’s season ends abruptly Gran t R am ir ez S taff Repo rter @ G r an t Ra m ir ez _

Isaac Likekele had nine seconds to run the length of the floor and attempt a game-winning bucket.

He only needed five.

After falling behind by one, Likekele took the ball and sprinted 94 feet, going coast-tocoast for the go-ahead layup against Iowa State.

The Oklahoma State men’s basketball team had moved on to the next round to play No. 1 Kansas.

They survived and advanced, earning the right to play another game.

Except that game will never happen.

Likekele didn’t think that would be the last play of the Cowboys’ season.

OSU’s seniors didn’t think that was the last time they would leave the floor as college athletes.

The Big 12 has cancelled its postseason conference tournament because of rising concerns about COVID-19.

After initially deciding to ban fans from the remaining games, the conference followed suit of every other major conference, cancelling the tournament all together.

The coronavirus concerns have even forced the NCAA to cancel March Madness, one of the biggest sporting events of the year.

It’s a huge blow to surprise teams such as No. 3 FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2020

Adam Luther/O’COLLY

The Oklahoma State men’s basketball team’s season ended with a win on Wednesday, but with no trophy to show for it. The Big 12 announced on Thursday that the conference tounrament would be canceled.

Dayton, who had its best shot in program history at securing a national championship this year.

The coronavirus scare has impacted college athletes at every level. It stretches far beyond the NCAA tournament teams.

OSU (18-14 overall, 7-11 Big 12) was a long shot to make the tournament. It would have needed to go on a real run in the Big 12 Championship to have a chance at being a part of the big dance. Realistically, they probably would have needed to win the tournament to get in.

Although the Cowboys were likely going to make the NIT Tournament and likely host the first few games at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Getting as much postseason experience as possible would have been a huge benefit for a young team that currently won’t have any seniors on next season’s roster.

Most returning players will have only one game of postseason experience, while Likekele and Yor Anei will have just two.

It’s something important to consider for a program that has high expectations next year with No. 1-recruit Cade Cunningham coming to Stillwater. Players have played meaningful minutes, but postseason games are different. Those experiences are valuable.

With OSU’s season officially over, it’s fair to say it didn’t go as expected.

Excitement around

the team’s hot start quickly turned cold when Likekele missed a month with mononucleosis and the Cowboys started conference play 0-9.

Their turnaround at the end of the season does offer signs of encouragement.

Likekele returned to form, and freshmen Kalib Boone and Avery Anderson began to show their potential. The Cowboys won 8 of their last 12 games with an adapted offensive mindset, while still emphasizing defense first.

OSU will have to build without the majority of its veteran leadership though.

OSU’s senior captains, Lindy Waters, Cam McGriff and Thomas Dziagwa, got to end their careers on a victory, but not in a way they ever could have expected.

Coach Mike Boynton said the NCAA should handle eligibility differently because of the unprecedented circumstances.

“Seniors, if they want, should have another year,” Boynton said. “Special permission on scholarship numbers for an unprecedented circumstance.

Next year only.”

For everyone involved, these are uncharted waters.

But this is the new reality in college sports for the foreseeable future.

Travel tips to avoid COVID-19 M egan Hays L i fe s tyle editor @ m egther ep ort er

Spring break is the week college students look forward to the most during the spring semester. It serves as a well needed break from the semester and a great opportunity to go out and enjoy the improving weather. With the recent outbreak of COVID-19, travelers need to be more aware and careful about how they spend their spring break.

Here are a few things to consider before you board that plane.

Think about the options Students have been planning their spring break for weeks, which only increases the disappointment of the cancellation of study abroad programs, cruises or international travel.

Some airlines and cruises haven’t refunded people, but many have offered credit to redeem at a later time. Take the time to seriously consider pushing back the date of these trips and weigh the risks and benefits to traveling during this time.

Take the necessary precautions If you are still determined to go out on an adventure this spring break, be sure to practice key rules of prevention the CDC outlines. Wash your hands after being in a public place and before you eat. Wash with soap FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2020

If you decide to travel over spring break, you can follow these tips to help you avoid the COVID-19 virus.

for 20 seconds, which is roughly the time of the chorus of whatever song is stuck in your head.

Dish soap can work in replacement of regular hand soap. If you want to use hand sanitizer, make sure it is 60% alcohol and rub it on your hands until it feels dry. Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, and quickly sanitize your hands afterward.

Think about who you are in contact with Close contact with anyone who is sick can cause you to be infected, making big crowds a perfect place for the virus to spread. This includes concerts, sporting events and beaches. If these can’t be avoided, be sure to take the precautions mentioned above. The CDC recommends roughly six feet of space between people as the virus spreads predominately through the droplets produced through sneezing and coughing.

Take the two week

class suspension seriously Oklahoma State announced Thursday morning that for two weeks after spring break, all classes will be moved online. This doesn’t mean an extra two weeks of break. COVID-19 has an incubation period anywhere from two to 14 days after being infected; even if you aren’t showing symptoms, you could still have the virus. The two week period is a way to give people enough time to self-quarantine without infecting the whole campus. While symptoms can display at any time during the incubation period, the average development of the symptoms are five days.

If you feel sick, stay home While COVID-19 is not seen as a danger to college students, it is a danger to people with compromised immune systems and respiratory issues as well as the older population. If you have a fever, are coughing and have shortness of breath, stay home. Even if the symptoms are mild, you can still spread the sickness to other people.

Just because you are willing to take the risk of getting sick, does not mean everyone else is.

Take the necessary precautions, and make sure you and everyone you come into contact with are doing what is necessary to limit the spread of the virus.

As COVID-19 continues to spread, OSU encourages students to change their original spring break travel plans.

Change in plans Marc us Tre v i no S taff Re p o rte r

@ Mar cu s T r e v i noSA

Students’ spring break plans might be more complicated than originally planned.

Amid recent travel restrictions and Oklahoma State University’s decision to move classes online for the two weeks following spring break, students have more to navigate than previously expected.

The World Health Organization named COVID-19 a global pandemic and the fallout shortly ensued.

President Donald Trump banned travel to 26 European countries.

Leslie Garza, a junior at OSU, planned to visit Spain during the break but had to cancel her trip.

“I was pretty bummed when I found out we couldn’t go,” Garza said.

OCOLLY.COM

“But I understand it would have been such a high risk to go in the first place.”

For students planning domestic travel, the threat of coronavirus is real, but no restrictions are in place.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is advising social-distancing, a strategy to avoid mass infections by not participating in public gatherings.

Some students, such as Maria Mancera who is leaving Oklahoma, are taking the CDC’s advice.

“I will only be with my one friend,” Mancera said. “My main concern right now is the airport and traveling to and from, so I’ll be washing my hands regularly, using hand sanitizer and wearing a face mask.”

Other students however are not concerned about potentially contracting

coronavirus.

Matt Schrold said he and his girlfriend will be going to Port Aransas, Texas, the site of a popular beach party.

“We’ve been looking forward to this party for weeks,” Schrold said.

“We’ll be taking safety precautions for sure, but I’m not too worried.”

Oklahoma State’s contingency plan has some people skeptical of its effectiveness.

Regardless of what OSU’s next steps are, international marketing professor Jerry Rackley said he’s grateful the university is taking steps in preventing the spread of the virus on campus.

“They’re having an abundance of caution,” Rackley said. “I think this is going to affect a lot of my students directly or indirectly.”
