It’s been months since COVID-19 upended all of our lives and, even now, no one can say with certainty when the pandemic will end. However, we do know that the end will come more quickly if each of us does our part. This issue of UAlbany magazine is dedicated to the many Great Danes who are meeting the moment in whatever ways they can. It’s a reminder that greatness rises to meet profound challenges and that we are bound together as one community ... one UAlbany.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, UAlbany rallied its resources to connect faculty, students, and staff through technology.
Essential workers – unsung heroes all – kept the University functioning during the lockdown.
Deans David Holtgrave (Public Health), Robert Griffin (CEHC), and Jason Lane (Education) worked together to address the University’s needs – and those of the wider community.
Alumni, students, and President Havidán Rodríguez were among the many UAlbany community members who lent their special expertise to the fight against COVID-19.
As a TikTok “popular creator,” UAlbany senior Zahra Hashimee travels the world to cover such exciting events as the Grammys and Milan Fashion Week – and more than 2.6 million fans, including pop-culture icons Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, follow her every move.
