Campus Voices: How Faculty Are Doing Without You
With students taking classes from home, Texas A&M faculty members have been asked by The Mugdown to give an update about how they are coping with working from home.
“I really enjoy waking up every morning and having a cup of coffee while I pretend my Zoom and Wi-Fi are broken so I don’t have to give office hours.”
— Your Math 141 TA
“This just gives me another reason not to have to socialize with students, and now I don’t even have to pretend to care about all the events put on by organizations!”
— President Michael K. Young
“I miss my students dearly. Normally, I can go to campus and tell my jokes and quips for students in class, but on Zoom all I hear back is silence. My wife isn’t even amused anymore!”
— Your eccentric but funny architecture professor
“Students aren’t on campus?”
— The professor of the class no one goes to after the first week
— Milidairy Walk
Riding horseback and scanning the horizon for any cattle left behind, Milidairy Walk proudly lifts his hat and wipes the sweat from his brow. It’s been a long day on the range, and he is ready to get some shut-eye. As he takes in the beautiful sunset, he ponders what his family may do with the ranch generations from now. The sun slowly dips below the hills and Milidairy Walk turns for home, hoping to return before supper gets cold.
