In her final semester of college, Sarah Trupp had a class group project planned around sharing what life as a student at Stetson University is all about. Then, on March 12, Trupp, a member of the Hatters’ women’s lacrosse team, got the heart-breaking news that her senior season was over. No final chance to share the field with her teammates and friends, no Senior Day recognition, no chance to move the needle for her program. It was all just over.
In this edition of Hatter Chatter … The Podcast, presented by Insight Credit Union, Trupp talks about how she and the other members of Journalism Studio class, under the direction of Andy Dehnert, pivoted their planned project and created “Corona College”, a podcast series giving voice to Stetson University students who had their semester disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
