East Stroudsburg University Focuses on Student Success

The fall 2020 semester is underway at ESU. While the majority of classes are being taught remotely to benefit the health and safety of students, faculty, staff and the
local community, a limited number classes are being taught face-to-face. At left, students from ESU’s College of Education meet with faculty members to talk about
expectations as they begin student teaching assignments. At right, Christina Hart, a Health Education major from Berwyn, Pa., and Krista Ammon, a Professional and
Secondary Education-Mathematics major from Center Valley, Pa. don their ESU masks and take a break near the front circle of campus. Members of ESU’s campus
community remain vigilant in their efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 while working on plans for upcoming semesters as the pandemic continues.
