Pensacola State able to meet challenges in uncertain times, says college president
Pensacola State College President Ed Meadows was in his office on the Pensacola campus, where he has been during much of the COVID-19 pandemic, steadying the Pirate ship amid a sea of worldwide turmoil.
The campus is closed – as are all PSC campuses and centers ─ to students and the public through the end of the spring term. However Meadows said much of the staff, faculty and administration have worked throughout the crisis to ensure the College’s stability, and, its success in the future when the nation emerges from COVID-19.
“I think our leadership has responded very well,’’ Meadows said. “Dr. (Erin) Spicer and the department heads worked through the College’s spring break to get us moving forward as quickly and effectively as possible.”
PSC campuses and centers have been closed since March 23, but classes were transitioned to online and resumed on March 30. While many PSC faculty were already familiar with online teaching, some had to be instructed in conducting online classes using Canvas and other online tools.
