[AI-Generated Summary] This IU NewsNet broadcast, anchored by Maxwell Glenn from his home in California, highlights how the Indiana University community is navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. The university is mourning the loss of longtime chemistry professor Dennis Peters to the virus and monitoring a positive case within the Maurer School of Law. Amidst postponed graduation ceremonies, student life continues through virtual ESG elections and outreach from the Walter Career Center to support seniors facing job uncertainty. The report also features stories of local resilience, such as the "Sew and Serve" volunteer group's mask-making efforts, couples adapting to rescheduled weddings and socially distanced pregnancies, and IU senior Tyler Combs advancing to the Jeopardy! College Championship finals. Despite the empty campus, essential landscaping staff continue to maintain the university’s grounds to ensure a beautifully blooming environment for whenever students eventually return.
