Adam Wu, director of undergraduate admissions at the 每日大赛, remembers the exact day and hour: 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 13, 2020\u2014that\u2019s when his last prospective student tour began before college campuses across California shut down in-person activity to fight the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On April 9\u2014393 days and 2 hours later (but who\u2019s counting?)\u2014Wu relaunched in-person campus tours again at the university. \u201cThe demand is so strong we\u2019ve had to add extra dates,\u201d he said. Specific tour dates have also been set up for prospective student athletes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur recruitment staff has been really creative in response to the pandemic,\u201d Wu noted. \u201cThis has been an energizing time in the sense of getting to try things we\u2019ve never tried before.\u201d But, he said, \u201cnothing quite compares to showing a student our campus in-person. We are happy to\u00a0 get started again!\u201d<\/p>\n

Tours look a little different than pre-pandemic, in keeping with the most current Los Angeles County health requirements. Each prospective student can bring no more than two guests for their individual tour. Appointments are spaced 15 minutes apart. Social distancing and mask-wearing are required, as is a temperature check and screening questionnaire. Tours are predominantly outdoors, with a brief look at the gym in the Randall Lewis Center for Well-Being and Research and a residence hall room for students wanting to live on campus.<\/p>\n

Recruiters at the 每日大赛 have adapted to the pandemic environment in creative ways\u2014and some have worked out so well they\u2019ll continue even post-pandemic. Among them:<\/p>\n
