student cornerby Amon Tarmo, Student Representative on the Newsletter Committee from the Department of Computer ScienceStudent LifeComing back to campus from the pandemic, no one knew how the school would be running and handling its dailyactivities. Most students were excited about going back to the campus and seeing their fellow friends, colleagues,and professors. From a student’s perspective, the hardest part of attending school remotely is the social isolationfrom our classmates and teachers. At NAU, we always feel like we have a community around us, and it is tough to notfeel that same sense of community when learning online at home. Although some students were still unsure of howthis whole situation was going to pan out, North American University has done a solid job in ensuring the safety of thestudents through observing all the CDC COVID-19 guidelines and precautions in campus.With the campus being open, clubs such as the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), the art club and theboxing club have been opened for this fall semester and they were free to join for any student. Other most popularactivities that have been going on so far during this fall semester were our annual Fall BBQ, NAU’s Halloween party,and the Free Books Library event which were all successful and played a vital role in connecting students and staffand also keeping the Stallion spirit alive.Country’s Discovery of the SemesterAs announced in the Fall 2020 newsletter, we cover three (3) randomly chosen countries in each issue of Sentinel andpresent some facts about those countries.
