Daily Update
Attend a reopening forum tonight or Friday
Reopening Operations Committee
President Thorsett and members of the Reopening Operations Committee are hosting two reopening forums this week to provide a brief status update concerning COVID-19 and to provide an opportunity for the community to ask questions.
The time of tonight's forum has been delayed to 7:30 p.m. to accommodate those who will be watching the vice presidential debate.
Please register in advance for these forums via the hyperlinks below.
We are grateful for the entire community’s commitment to comply with the university's COVID-19 mitigation strategies. As you can see by our relatively low case counts, your efforts are paying off. Thank you.
