WE HAD TOIMPROVISERESIDENTIAL STUDENTS LEARNEDto cook gourmet meals during thepandemic through a new meal kitservice called Meal2Me. The meal kitsprovided step-by-step recipes and fresh,pre-portioned ingredients to providea fun cooking experience.Dishes included firecracker meatballswith roasted green beans and jasminerice, chicken in scallion cream withvegetables, and Korean beef and ricebowls topped with carrots, baby bokchoy and fried eggs. Ingredients werecustomizable to accommodate dietaryrestrictions including the option to selectvegan meat substitutions.The Meal2Me program was developedby Residential Life Coordinator JenniferSusnic, ‘16, ‘19, and Cookie and T.R. Jr.Potter Hall Resident Assistants Haley Akihiro4and Blake Huster, in partnership with FreshIdeas, Maryville’s exclusive dining partner.Meal2Me kits were available forpurchase using meal plans and cost 25per kit. All ordering took place throughMaryville’s mobile ordering system,allowing for contactless ordering andpayment as well as rapid pick up. EachMeal2Me contained two servings, andstudents could order multiple boxesat the same time to feed friends orenjoy leftovers.“Our goal was to create an opportunityfor students to gather together for afamily-style meal,” Huster said. “There’ssomething special about being able tocook your own meal with friends, and thenenjoy it around your own dinner table.”Those students living in Maryville’sHilltop Student Apartments were able toutilize their full kitchens, which include astove and oven, to prepare meals. Otherstudents ordered Meal2Me kits and tookthem home to prepare recipes for theirfamilies. Additionally, some Maryville facultyand staff members ordered boxes to sharewith their loved ones.While Fresh Ideas sourced andportioned the ingredients, the ResidentialLife team was responsible for all Meal2Mebranding, packaging and marketing. Thisincluded creating a logo featuring red fruitsand vegetables in the shape of a heart, todesigning and printing recipe cards. Theteam also designed and sourced brandedboxes and other packaging materials.Their extensive project managementeven extended to targeted emailcampaigns and the creation of an Instagram@Maryville Meal2Me that shared ingredientsneak peeks, meal reviews and behind-thescenes videos of the box packing process.Plans are underway to createMeal2Me dessert and snack kits thatcan be prepared in microwaves or don’trequire cooking so they can be enjoyedby students living in residential halls or bystudents on the go studying or attendingclass. There’s also potential to create carepackage Meal2Me kits for families topurchase for their students.“We’re always looking for ways tostrengthen the tight-knit, close communitythat exists among residential students,”Susnic said. “When we brainstormedMeal2Me, everyone immediately dideverything they could to make it happen.That support system was crucial. We’realways pushing the boundaries of howfar we can reach and what we can doto provide our students with the bestexperiences possible.”5
WE FOCUSED ONHEALINGTO HELP STUDENTS NAVIGATE thechallenges of the pandemic, Maryville’sCounseling Center enhanced campus-widemental health services for studentsthrough the expansion of delivery optionsand creation of educational videos andother virtual resources.“The beginning of the pandemicwas so abrupt that I knew we neededto reach students as soon as possible,”said Jennifer Henry, MA, LPC, director ofthe counseling center. “It was importantfor people’s feelings to be normalizedand processed, and for the Maryvillecommunity to understand that we wereall going through a shared trauma.”Initially, counseling services wereoffered in the form of teletherapy byphone to already established clients whowere in Missouri at the time of the phonesession. Some leeway was allowed bylicensure boards to continue therapytemporarily with students who returnedto Illinois. For clients who returned totheir homes out of state, the Counseling6Note: photo taken after both subjects had been fully vaccinated.Center provided free consultations tohelp them locate providers in their states.The Counseling Center Support Lineproved to be invaluable during this time,and would continue to be throughoutthe pandemic. All students, both oncampus and online, could reach a licensedcounselor anytime, 24/7 by calling theSupport Line. Utilization of the SupportLine increased by 118% during thepandemic, compared to the same timeperiod the year before. All Support Linecalls were reviewed and followed up on bythe main campus Counseling Center staff.“It’s huge that any Maryville studentwas able to talk to a licensed counselorany day, at any time,” Henry said. “TheSupport Line gave students the supportthey needed, when they needed it,in-the-moment. It was an extremelyhelpful resource for our community.”By Fall of 2020, all counselingservices were transferred to Zoom forHealthcare which allowed for teletherapyvia video platform. The CounselingCenter began taking new clients again,and student support groups beganmeeting again virtually.For the Spring 2021 semester, morethan half the students who sought outservices from Maryville’s CounselingCenter had never received any typeof counseling before in their lives.That number of first-time clients wasdramatically higher than it had everbeen before the pandemic began.“We saw an increase in studentsstruggling with motivation and focus,students feeling lonely or isolated, and alot of students facing academic challengesthat arose because of virtual learning,”Henry said. “There was also the mourningof so many missed experiences andopportunities and finding new waysto move forward.”In addition to teletherapy services, theCounseling Center produced a series ofdigital resources discussing how to copewith uncertainty, tips on time managementand motivation, and ways to connect withcounseling support amid the flexibleacademic experience. Students could alsoaccess the Counseling Center’s VirtualRelaxation Room for resources includingmeditation and relaxation exercises,peaceful music and a four-part stressmanagement workshop.“Students cannot learn well if theyare not feeling mentally well,” Henry said.“College is such a pivotal time in students’lives. It’s the first time many are makinglife decisions on their own, and a timewhen mental health issues are often firstdiagnosed. They need someone who isobjective that they can talk to aboutthese things. It’s imperative they havethat support available so they can behealthy and achieve their goal of earninga degree.”7
WE FOUNDSOLUTIONSWHEN MUSIC STUDENTS weren’t able towork with a live accompanist for classes andperformances, Maryville found a creativesolution through a new app.The app, aptly named Appcompanist,provided students access to thousandsof piano accompaniments for genres likeopera, jazz and musical theatre. Studentscould control the musical pieces whilepracticing and performing by using theiriPad or iPhone. Through the simple touchof a button, students could play melodies indifferent keys, insert musical pauses, checktheir pitch, smoothly increase or decreasetempo and more.“Appcompanist was the best wayto implement lessons in the virtualenvironment,” said Scott Lyle, director of themusic program and assistant professor ofmusic. “While Zoom is an excellent product,there was always going to be a delay if I wasplaying music and a student was singingalong. Our timing would always be off.8So we needed to find a way for instructorsto hear the students correctly and provideconstructive feedback in real time.”The app was also a helpful tool forstudents to practice on their own time.Amber Chapman, who completed musicclasses as part of her music therapycoursework, used Appcompanist tosharpen her mezzo-soprano singing skills.“I grew up doing community theaterand participating in talent competitions, butnever took formal lessons,” she said. “Now,my Maryville instructors are teaching mehow to sing in ways that are healthy for myvocal chords. I’m also learning a lot aboutbreath and phrasing and how to deliversongs with the correct emotions. The appwas super nice because I always had iton hand and didn’t need another personaround in order to practice my techniques.”Appcompanist also played a significantrole for semester-end voice juries andsenior recitals, held at the conclusionof a student’s Maryville career beforegraduation. Both projects are traditionallyheld in-person in the auditorium, withMaryville’s Artist-In-Residence and AssociateProfessor of Music Peter Henderson playingpiano accompaniment. Friends and familyoften attend as well. Appcompanist allowedstudents to show their growth and sharetheir talents from afar.“Before the pandemic, I wouldn’t havebelieved that I could learn music virtually,”Chapman said. “But now that I’ve gonethrough the experience, I think it wentreally well. The virtual environment actuallyincreased our learning opportunities.”In her free time, Chapman served asmusic director for Notorious, Maryville’sstudent-run a cappella group. Notoriousheld virtual tryouts, practices and boardmeetings throughout the year. Theirefforts culminated in a series of amazingvirtual performances mixed by the groupstech-wizard advisor, Scott Lyle.The performances required eachstudent to individually record their audioand video tracks including checking outportable microphones, microphone shieldsand other equipment from Maryville’s musicdepartment to instantly turn their studentiPads into state-of-the-art recording studios.The finished products were showcasedon Notorious’ YouTube page and socialmedia channels.“Professor Lyle did so much to make surethe performance aspect wasn’t lost duringthe pandemic,” Chapman said. “So muchof music is performance, even if it’s noton a stage. Just getting to sit and play forother people; that’s the best part of music.It’s giving something to someone. And notbeing able to give that gift to others wouldhave made the months a lot longer.”9
