The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff are the most-important priorities guiding the university’s approach, and we will adjust to the evolving circumstances. I will continue to advocate for the needs of graduate students during these difficult times. 

Below are some updates on policies and resources for graduate students as we approach the fall semester.

Dear Graduate Community,

The recent ruthless killings of African Americans across the country—including George Floyd, Michael Ramos, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson—have led to protests and unrest across America in response to police brutality and our nation’s continued legacy of racism. 

Many of you will continue to teach and support online classes during the summer. This week, I would like to highlight resources for online teaching and learning that are available to graduate students through the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), one of the centers within the Graduate School.

As the spring semester comes to a close, I am writing to provide updates related to COVID-19 and the Graduate Education Task Force. I know these are difficult times for everyone in the campus community.
