After two years of COVID-influenced spring breaks, students are ready to ride their way to relaxation.<\/p><\/div>\n

Students at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga actually have plans for spring break this year.<\/p>\n

Their coveted mid-term hiatus was canceled last year. In 2020, students left campus for spring break at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, unsure if they\u2019d be coming back and whether life would ever be the same again.<\/p>\n

Classes eventually resumed online in the spring of 2020 and UTC\u2014like schools, businesses and organizations the world over\u2014figured out how to make it work amid the chaos and tragedy.<\/p>\n

Two years later, virtual classes and Zoom meetings are still common, but a sense of normalcy is starting to bloom, and spring break is back.<\/p>\n

Yancy Freeman, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student affairs, has eagerly awaited this moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditionally, spring break has figured so prominently in the college experience that I can\u2019t really describe just how happy I am for the opportunity our students have this year to experience spring break in a way that is closer to tradition for the first time in a very long time,\u201d Freeman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two years since the pandemic was declared feel like a lifetime ago to all of us, and I\u2019ve never been so glad to see the possibility of \u2018ordinary\u2019 come back.\u00a0I hope our students have fun, relax and return safely from the much-needed break.”<\/p>\n

Some students are staying in Chattanooga and plan to take advantage of the first unofficial days of spring in the Tennessee River Valley<\/a>. Others are heading back home to spend time with family and friends they don\u2019t get to see during the academic year. Some Mocs are gearing for adventures with Campus Recreation and other student organization or planning trips, near and far, on their own.<\/p>\n

But whatever they do, wherever they go, students are planning to come back.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a peek at what some Mocs will be up to next week for spring break 2022.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to Milwaukee (Wisconsin) with my parents. We love the snow. Most people love the beach, but we like the cold \u2026 We like going to different places across the country to see how other people live. We\u2019re from the South (Chattanooga), so we don\u2019t know much about the Midwest \u2026 but Milwaukee is supposed to have a really nice art museum.<\/em><\/p>\n
