Universities across Arizona are reacting to the governor’s and the president’s announcements regarding coronavirus. Arizona State University President Michael Crow announced Wednesday that all in-person classes will “transition to online instruction wherever possible.” 

This begins March 16 and will last for two weeks. Crow’s letter says that there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at ASU right now, but this move is a precaution against further spread. 

So, how are students feeling about this? To give us one perspective, Peter Gong, a senior at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, talked to The Show.
