Michelle Ho, an industrial design major at SF State, is one of many students who has been asked to vacate campus housing.

SF State’s campus is effectively shut down due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the school canceled all events, many of which Michelle was scheduled to perform at.  The outbreak and the resulting restrictions on group gatherings brings many challenges to her role in the professional-level marching band Drum Corps.  She continues to practice even without access to the school’s music facilities.
