A regional campus graduate communicates in this piece her experience during the initial period of the COVID 19 pandemic. Her words highlight the importance of the “sense of place” that is the unifying theme of this rural regional campus.1 She worked 3 years in our college rural scholar program and ultimately wrote the best summary of the community aspect of this experience.2 She then completed our prematriculation and preclinical programs, and graduated from our clinical campus in 2015. She then completed an OB/Gyn residency at Geisenger, and returned home to practice, where she serves as a key faculty for our clerkship.
