Starting with Safety
By Ebony Heins
How the UCX team pulled together a COVID safe O-week
Think back to May. Restrictions were newly imposed, and we had no clue what was to come. For Andrew Giumelli and Alicia Hargraves at UCX this meant hugely stalling their ability to plan semester 2 O-week. With a usual focus on providing free food to large groups of people, gigs and, of course, speed friending, it was clear this O-week would not look like those of previous years. So, they started with one concept; safety, and worked their way down from there. Just a few months later and UC’s semester 2 O-week is already here. There is something for everyone, this is exactly what you can expect.
