Oh my gosh the snow....
After a winter that at best can be described as *ahem* pretty lame, the snow finally began here on Valentine's Day - and has yet to let up for more than a day or two. We have received inches upon inches of the white stuff sandwiched between layers of sleet and ice. Though the temperature hasn't been terribly low, nor has there been much wind, the snow remains relentless in making many roads impassible thus keeping hundreds of DCOM students virtual prisoners in their own homes. We have missed eight days of classes and will miss at least a couple of more. Oh that snow...
Despite the inconvenience, the faculty and staff at DCOM has risen to this challenge, making sure students have access to online classes and study guides as well as personally seeing to it that students in the dorms have food. These past 2 weeks have confirmed to me that DCOM is so much more than a "medical school". It's a village, a tight community of people who will go to incredible lengths to take care of each other. For the class of 2018 we began last Fall as a nervous, motley group of strangers that, in the ensuing months and especially in the face of our current situation, are becoming a team. This transformation is remarkable to behold.
I better let you go for now. It's snowing outside...
