Dear colleagues,

Today students are being encouraged to review their fall courses and make any changes to their class schedules. You can read more about our messages to students below.

Updating our course schedule has been an extraordinary undertaking, and I would like to thank the members of our staff and faculty who have worked tirelessly for weeks to completely rethink and recode our timetable. About 55 percent of courses offered this semester will include some face-to-face instruction.

Likewise, I am impressed by the many instructors who have changed their course schedules and committed to training and professional development this summer. Our preparations will ensure that our students are supported and that they will continue to receive the outstanding education they have come to expect from our university.

Thanks to all of you, we will give our students a meaningful college experience this fall. Though it will certainly look different than before, I have every confidence that it will be one our students will never forget.
