University Briefings & Virtual Events

The Connecticut Governor’s state-wide mask mandate for K-12 schools is set to expire at the end of this month, leaving the decision up to local communities. Because the CDC still lists Fairfield County as a high-transmission area and, on the advice of state and local health officials, Sacred Heart will continue to require indoor masking for the time being.

Life During The Covid-19 Pandemic Was, And Still Is, Dispiriting, Anonymous

Community Reflections

For me personally, I did not enjoy quarantining at all. I did enjoy seeing my family every day, however, I was very lonely. I couldn’t see any of my friends, which was very disappointing. Thankfully with social media I could facetime them and text them, but face-to-face contact with other people is very necessary; it is something you wouldn’t normally think is important, but when you are unable to physically be with other people, you realize how lonely you feel.

The Covid-19 Pandemic: The New Way Of Living, Anonymous

Community Reflections

The coronavirus came to America in the beginning of the year, 2021. My contribution is based on the virus's peak and how it affected my family. My essay ranges from what life was like as a high school student in New York witnessing the pandemic to my family being exposed. It touches on the important features of being in lockdown and the adjustment society had to make that still exists today. A common theme throughout my assessment is the development of fear from the coronavirus. It discusses how fear has driven many of the restrictions that my community has had …

Updated CDC Guidelines for Quarantining and Isolating

The CDC recently updated its guidelines for quarantining and isolating. We delayed implementing the new guidelines, because we expected the CDC to release more specific guidance for institutions of higher education.

When the CDC does release guidelines for higher education, we will review them and may update our protocols accordingly. We are sharing some highlights of the new guidelines below, but the guidance is constantly changing, and you can find the most up-to-the-minute decisions on …

Purpose & Acknowledgements: The Graduate Student Life Handbook was compiled by Mr. Jagdeep Singh Khasriya, a graduate student at Sacred Heart University.

When I was accepted at SHU for graduate studies, I was excited, confused, and curious at the same time as to where I will live, eat, shop, socialize, etc. Therefore, this book was compiled from a new graduate student’s perspective on what elements will interest the current students and help the prospective students. This is a general-purpose handbook that I hope will help students in showing everything that SHU has to offer by serving as a navigational guide. …
