(Radio Iowa) – Students in k-through 12 classes and at the college level had to deal with a lot of changes in their routine this past year following the COVID-19 outbreak. Iowa State University president, Wendy Wintersteen, says they adjusted on the fly.

She says the actions they took appeared to have stopped the spread of the virus.

Wintersteen says it was evident that the students would rather be together on campus in Ames instead of taking classes online.

She says they will take what they learned and use it in the spring semester.

I-S-U’s Spring session begins on January 25th.
