In response to the recent University decision to invite back all undergraduate students, the recently re-elected incumbent member Michele L. Tuck-Ponder expressed cautious optimism. “I look at the University as part of our larger community, and so I don’t really look at it as a school issue — I look at it as a community challenge,” Tuck-Ponder told the ‘Prince.’ “I think [the students] lend an energy and a vibrancy to the town and I’ve missed them … but that’s not without some concern about how we’re going to manage introducing the thousands of undergraduate students back into our midst and continuing to monitor the spread of COVID-19 in our community.”
