Adhering to the UT Spartan Shield and CDC guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic has meant the Honors Executive Council has had to become particularly creative when thinking of ideas for activities and excursions for Honors students. One that worked was to walk from UT’s campus along the Tampa Riverwalk to Armature Works where we got ice cream at Astro Ice Cream. The walk was just over 2 miles round trip. Aside from when we were inside Armature Works ordering our ice cream, we were outside and able to physically distance. The students were able to eat together in small groups to limit physical proximity. It was a nice opportunity to enjoy Tampa and build a sense of community.
