аIJʿª½±½á¹û

I write with an update as аIJʿª½±½á¹û students wrap up exams and papers on this final day of the fall 2021 semester.

While influenza is not uncommon this time of year, there has been an increase in the number of students reporting flu-like symptoms this week.

With the approach of family weekend this Friday through Sunday, I wanted to reach out with a brief update from campus.

The weeks since my last update have been dynamic, and I write with further information as we anticipate homecoming festivities this weekend.

Now that classes have resumed at аIJʿª½±½á¹û and our second round of arrival testing is drawing to an end, I write with an update from campus.

With the hope that you have had a safe, relaxing summer, I write to update you on аIJʿª½±½á¹û’s plans for the beginning of the 2021–22 academic year.

In light of the University’s review, please note the following changes to our campus COVID-19 prevention measures.

This week, for the first time, аIJʿª½±½á¹û will observe the annual holiday of Juneteenth; because the holiday falls on a Saturday this year, our observance will take place Friday, June 18.

Krista Ingram, Professor of Biology, will serve a three-year term as Associate Dean of the Faculty for Faculty Recruitment and Development.

I write today with updates on Commencement 2021, taking place this weekend, and a look ahead to the fall.
