Texas State University President Denise Trauth announced Monday that all classes will be held virtually for the first two weeks of the spring 2022 semester due to a COVID-19 surge.

The Walk To End Alzeimer’s will take place this Saturday, Oct. 10 and the woman organizing it knows all too well how difficult this disease is. My dad passed away from COVID on July 19 and my mom passed away Aug. 4,” Gibbons said. She doesn’t want the fight to end Alzeimer’s to end. “After seeing my parents go through it, we understand, so it’s all gonna be virtual,” Gibbons said. There will be a ceremony for the Walk To End Alzeimer’s and the walk will take place at 9:30 a.m.“They can walk wherever they want to, it doesn’t matter where they live, they can live out of state and still walk with us,” Gibbons said.
