PARADIGM TIMES
THE NEWSLETTER OF THE TAMU-SA HISTORY PROGRAM
Issue 4 / Spring 2022
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.
