Ghibli Lofi is a lo-fied version of a few well-known themes from the famous Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi. I edited the melody, added some basslines, and added hip hop drums as well as a few audio effects here and there.

Welcome to the third episode of GlobalCast. As module B kickstarted, some international students have returned to campus while many remained as remote learners under the pressure of travel ban and other protocols that makes returning particularly difficult. Because of the time difference, international students have to attend zoom classes at nighttime. They need to pay extra effort to stay focused and be actively engaged at the expense of sleep. The biggest missing part for them, however, is the connection with school and community. “In the conversation in class, I was always a listener and couldn't participate,” stated by Athena Zhong. The missing connection is not a surprising discovery amongst domestic students. “You can’t go into anyone’s dorm other than the dorm you are assigned to, and that takes away many fun experiences with friends” told by Nicolas Hatchens. In this episode, we will explore a typical school day for students in different hemispheres and discover how to foster a better Tabor experience under the pandemic.

This song has a jazzy-lofi style made with piano and drums. Through plugins, the audio is modified to sound more scratchy and old with the addition of vinyl noises. As the genre goes, it is meant to be relaxing but also give a similar feeling as hip-hop beats.

Welcome to the first episode of GlobalCast. News from our International Students. The 2020-2021 school year was set and started just on time under the pressure of COVID-19, the global pandemic. Faculty and Staff have been working on the safety protocols since July, keeping us informed with zoom meetings and monthly updates of the current situation on campus. International students were offered extra care and attention pertaining to travel bands and VISA updates. At the end of August, both returning and new students staggered a return to campus or had orientation with global partners virtually. Native students returned to campus with mandatory masks on during all times, except in their own dorms. “We are only allowed to not wear masks in our dorms and designated masks-free areas,” told by Max Murry. In class, students were assigned seats with certain distances and remote students would zoom in with a video camera and microphone. For afternoon activities, masks were also strictly required. There will be new rounds of mandatory PCR test offered for all students and faculty/staff to make sure campus is safe.
Virtual learning has been a challenging tough time for online students and also the teachers. Although students could hear what the teacher are saying and see their faces and gestures, it’s still hard for virtual learners to feel personally in class.
“Remote learning is a little bit hard for me to interact with others on zoom,” said Linh, “but the teachers were so understanding and supportive. They were doing everything they could to make us feel included.”
