Truman was, on Monday, back to business after the week of spring break. Offices and classrooms opened early to serve students who reported for morning classes and the normal school operations picked up pace slowly ahead of the last three weeks of the spring 2011 semester.
Nonetheless, it’s important to point out that this semester’s break was uncharacteristic in nature. First, unlike the City Colleges of Chicago’s recent past traditions, this break came between April 18 and 24, just a week before the final exams start. Second, most schools, around the nation and particularly those in the Midwest, released students for spring recess on the end of March or on early April.
And finally, the break fell on the week of Easter and has thus given students, staff, and faculty an opportunity to observe the holiday with their families, and loved ones. This was welcome for many who have a strong family tradition to celebrate the occasion.
