COVID carousel
Director of the Student Health Center Dr. Cheryl Hug-English shares poetic gratitude for her 'UNR family' through all of 'the twists and the turns/That this virus brings'
COVID carousel
Our campus shines brighter
Seems alive once again
Sounds of laughter and learning
How long it has been
Backpacks and skateboards
Notebooks and phones
Winding down pathways
Class can’t be postponed
Our students are back
Staff and faculty too
With eager excitement
Freshmen make their debut
Study and research
Minds eager to grow
Showing colors of greatness
That soon overflow
COVID challenges us still
Yet with resolve and belief
We stay strong for each other
There will soon be relief
The COVID carousel spins
It seems without end
Getting dizzy with changes
That don’t want to bend
This ride as it circles
Can be bumpy with fear
With tangled frustrations
And little music to hear
Yet with testing, with vaxing
With masking for sure
With patience and grace
We will surely endure
Supporting each other
On this imperfect string
With the twists and the turns
That this virus brings
To our UNR family
Thanks for all that you do
It does not go unnoticed
For you are the glue
We are stronger together
Ideas that keep us on track
With energy and spirit
The Wolf Pack is back!
