Approximately 75 percent of the incoming first-year class opted to pursue in-person for most or all of their classes, though many second and third-year students are taking a mix of both. &nbsp;The College of Law is able to offer this additional remote education pursuant to an approved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abajournal.com\/news\/article\/various-legal-ed-proposals-approved-by-aba-house-of-delegates\">American Bar Association variance<\/a> to the rules regarding distance-education programs for ABA accredited law schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our admissions team worked diligently to bring in one of the largest classes in the last 10 years.&nbsp; Of the incoming 1Ls, about 85 percent chose to attend in-person orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JoCynda Hudson, assistant dean for Student Affairs, and her team worked tirelessly to produce one of the longest and most logistically complicated orientation programs in the law school\u2019s history to accommodate this year\u2019s large incoming class while maintaining physical distancing and those who preferred to attend online. Orientation typically lasts only three days, but this year it ran from August 7-14 in multiple sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amanda Mercado, an incoming 1L from St. Petersburg who attended in-person orientation, said the orientation schedule was \u201cinclusive,\u201d and giving students the option of whether to attend in person or online alleviated any worries they might have had about safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mia Hartley, an incoming 1L from St. Pete Beach, was moved to online remote orientation because of lack of capacity but found that she and her fellow students were still able to establish a rapport through online conversation and bond as a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was great! Even online I found the presenters to be very engaging, and the conversation through the chat tool to be productive and efficient,\u201d Hartley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/stacey_rae_orientation.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29483\" width=\"261\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/stacey_rae_orientation.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/stacey_rae_orientation-500x350.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/stacey_rae_orientation-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/><figcaption>Professor Simcox wears a face shield.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Stetson Law community realizes that the key to making the 2020-2021 academic year safe and successful is for everyone to do their part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jason Bent, associate dean for Academic Affairs, told one group of 1Ls, \u201cIf you want in-person classes, we want to deliver in-person classes, but we can only do that if you follow the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rules being: wear a mask, maintain physical distance, and do not gather in groups larger than 10. All staff and students should be aware that the new COVID-19-related policies have been added in addendums to both the Stetson University Personnel Policy and College of Law\u2019s Code of Student Professionalism and Conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another key to making in-person classes possible this year is, ironically, technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While all of Stetson Law\u2019s classrooms include the standard tech and audio\/visual bundles of computers, projectors, media cabinets and microphones, they were equipped further with live webcasting appliances, additional microphones and cameras to make \u201cdual delivery\u201d possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s our big secret sauce,\u201d said Daniel Payne, director of the Office of Media Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dual delivery is when professors are teaching in-person classes, but students can watch remotely online in real time. Unlike live streaming, which is a one-way communication, the dual delivery enables the remote students to utilize their computer microphones and cameras to actively participate in classes, just like in a Zoom or GoToMeeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Great Hall now boasts a 16 ft. x 10 ft. remote-operated projection screen hung from the ceiling, as well as six, 70-inch Samsung monitors mounted along the side walls, and a state-of-the-art sound reinforcement system to ensure sound is clearly delivered to the back of the room and to remote viewers. The Mann Lounge also features enhanced sound and multiple 70-inch monitors mounted to stands so they can be moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8117_GHscreen-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8117_GHscreen-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8117_GHscreen-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8117_GHscreen-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8117_GHscreen.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The new 16 ft. x 10 ft. projection screen, six, 70-inch Samsung monitors mounted along the side walls, and a state-of-the-art sound reinforcement system, make the Great Hall ready for dual-delivery classes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payne spent four straight weeks designing the necessary technology infrastructure and working with a supplier to track down the equipment. Much of it is made in China and not readily available because of COVID-19 shutdowns and increased demands from schools across the country, leading to a nationwide search, Payne said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without this new equipment, the College of Law would have run out of space to host physically distant, in-person classes, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with the technology, creating an academic calendar was a logistical challenge. The faculty and staff collaborated in stellar fashion to meet it.&nbsp; And all of the law school staff worked to ensure the campus was clean, safe and beautiful for the start of classes, said Dean Mich\u00e8le Alexandre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis academic year is going to be unlike any other, and we truly appreciate the patience and support of our College of Law community. We are confident our students will still experience the same rigorous legal education whether their classes are remote or in person, and that everyone will benefit from the safe environment we\u2019ve worked hard to create and maintain. We are excited to welcome everyone back to campus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mario Makram, an incoming first year law student from Clearwater, said he was nervous on his first day of orientation August 11.
