Message from the Faculty
          During the 2021-22 academic year we have been thrilled to welcome many of you back
          onto campus and into the classroom, following a year in which much of our instruction took
          place virtually. Even as the increasingly widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines has
          made it safer for more of us to meet together in person, the pandemic has continued to
          a ect our lives, especially as the recent spread of the Omicron variant of the virus has
          caused another
          surge in cases in
          San Antonio and
          nationwide.

          The way the
          COVID-19
          pandemic has
          developed since
          March 2020 has
          some parallels to
          the last major
          pandemic to hit the
          United States, the
           u pandemic of
          1918-19. Then, too,
          cases surged and
          receded in
          successive waves, demonstrating that the ends of pandemics are rarely clear-cut or
          immediate.

          In this issue of the Paradigm Times, we have updates about recent and upcoming events,
          both in-person and virtual, forthcoming History courses, student groups and organizations,
          and news from our faculty and alumni about their recent activities. Do not hesitate to reach
          out to us if you have any questions or news to share.

          Paradigm Times                                                          Issue 4 / Spring 2022
