ISSUE 4 SPRING 2022 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. Paradigm Times Issue 4 / Spring 2022 fl ff
