YC Love During a Pandemic

As we all know, things are far from normal at the moment. COVID-19 has drastically changed the way we go about our everyday lives. However, there is one thing that has not and will not ever change here at York College, and that is the love and care that is provided to the students. 
I am currently in isolation. I tested positive for the nasty virus which means I will be stuck in my room for a minimum of 10 days. Luckily, I do not have severe symptoms. However, I’m not allowed to leave my room for any reason, other than using the restroom. If I need anything, I have to ask one of my two roommates to get it for me. They’ve been super good to me and they’ve taken care of me during my time of need. But, it makes me feel like a pain in the neck when I have to ask for every little thing. That’s why I’m grateful for the support I’ve received from the rest of the YC community.

​​York College Admissions sent me a care package on my first day of isolation. It was a YC drawstring bag full of some of my favorite things. Jolene Herzog, director of student activities, had sent me an email asking what some of my favorite foods were, and the admissions team delivered! The bag was full of peaches, two bottles of strawberry melon Brisk, some Reese’s candies, cheddar jalapeño Cheetos, and a DVD. I was super grateful to have access to some of my favorites, and I didn’t even have to bother my roommates to get them! 
​

​A day or two later I received another gift. This time, Student Government sent me a personal pizza from Pizza Hut and a small goodie bag with some candy and Gatorade. It was so nice to know that some of my friends at YC were thinking about me enough to send me gifts, and help me get through the isolation process! Plus, I knew I wasn’t the only one that was receiving these things. York College was providing for those in need.

​Lastly, it cannot go unnoticed that the Residence Life team has been tirelessly working to provide all meals to those in quarantine or isolation. With the help of some volunteer faculty and staff members, all meals are delivered to the students’ rooms. As I am also a resident assistant, I’ve had to deliver some of the meals myself, in the past. Let me tell you, it is not easy work! There are a lot of meals that need to be delivered and Residence Life makes it happen!

This just goes to show that York College is continuing to care for their students throughout this pandemic. They put in the extra time and effort to make us comfortable, and they check on us constantly throughout our time in quarantine and isolation. I just wanted all of those who have been working so hard to know that it does NOT go unnoticed. Thank you for your love and care during these hard times! We are all so grateful!
