Final exam season is here and then it’s fun in the sun until fall classes come back (unless you’re one of those freaks who takes summer classes). While the spring semester at Douglas is coming to an end, the fun never stops and the college has planned a number of online events to quell the COVID-19 summer boredom and to encourage safe socialization. Here are the college’s (all online) events from the end of April to beginning of May.
