Heading back to the classroom.
That's exactly what University of Illinois Springfield students did Friday.
For the first month of the 2021 semester, all students, faculty, and staff on campus are required to take a covid-19 test at least once a week.
The campus also required all students on campus to get the covid-19 vaccine, with few of those exempted.
Events include the Jello Olympics happening on Sunday, the Welcome Picnic on Monday, and the Involvement Expo on Tuesday.
