Though it's no easy task holding rigorous college courses remotely, Dickinson's faculty members have worked hard to ensure this semester would be as fruitful and rewarding as any other.

Refurbished sewing machines were sent to the students, who followed Harper-McCombs' videos to learn various techniques. "We have one [sewing machine] going to Kansas, and one that may go to Mexico," she said.
