The Brief: "Zoom University" is a nickname college students are giving to their schools now that classes are moving online due to Coronavirus isolation and quarantines.
DEEP DIVE
The term “Zoom University” refers to colleges around the world turning to online classes, often through Zoom as part of isolation and quarantine measures to protect against the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). Zoom University jokes and memes comment on topics such as the loneliness of quarantines, the shenanigans students engage in during Zoom classes, and the possibility of Zoom graduation ceremonies.
After much consideration, I’d like to announce my commitment to Zoom University to further my education. Thank you to everyone and especially the coronavirus for making this possible🙏 pic.twitter.com/SB3Ev8xnJF
