Vaccination stories show faculty and staff care for our community

As we approach fall semester, Beloit College is requiring faculty, staff, and students to be vaccinated to allow the College to provide the best in-person experience for our students — safely.

We invited several well-known faculty and administrators to share how they view the benefits of getting the vaccine. For many of them, the rewards are also close to home.

Read Their Stories

“For the first time in well over a year, I knew I could be with other people and not run a significant risk of infecting them. How important is that?” – Scott Bierman

“I took my grandfather to his vaccination appointment … you could tell everyone was proud to see an almost 90-year-old walk in for his shot. It felt great!” – Tamara Fouche’10

“Beloit College does its best work when we are together, in person. This is our shot to do the most good, for everyone.” – Kathy Landon

“It was my responsibility to keep the testing center a safe environment for our students, faculty, and staff — the best way to do that was to be vaccinated myself.” – Karen Mayse

Giving Back: Student Initiatives

Where the sidewalk ends

Ava Rockafield’20 and Hannah Oxford’20 partnered to create an art piece for the Merrill Community Garden inspired by Shel Silverstein’s 1974 classic “Where The Sidewalk Ends.”

“We wanted to leave behind something in Beloit, because we love this city, and it’s where we’ve grown into who we are now….Overall, this mural brought me a lot of joy to work on, and I hope it brings Kaelyb and my Beloit neighbors joy,” says Rockafield.

Why they Chose beloit

Having faith in your own abilities

Rajvi Thakkar’21 acquired countless skills as a double major in religious studies and international relations at Beloit. Perhaps more importantly, though, she became confident she could handle ambiguous or uncomfortable situations — like spending the summer and her senior year away from home in the middle of a global pandemic.

“You have to gather the tools to be able to navigate those kinds of scenarios,” she says.
