        <div  class="newsletter-txt">Aaleiyah Spaulding  of  Springfield  said  Thursday  she  had  not  been  on the  University  of  Illinois  Springfield campus  since  the  school  went  to  remote  classes  in  March  2020.



Spaulding  was  taking  part  in  a "stage  experience"  at  Sangamon  Auditorium,  marking  her  graduation  with  a  degree  in  psychology.  That  experience may  have  kept  down  the  number  of  guests  because  of  COVID-19  ,  and  Spaulding  couldn't  celebrate  with  all  of  her  classmates,  but  it  was  memorable  nonetheless,  she  said.</div>
