For Students

Welcome Back students! Make sure you Mask Up, Back Up, and Wash Up. Lets keep our community safe. Just like Eddy!

Any question, big or small, can be answered by the Dean of Students Office.

FAQ:

How can I Mask Up, Back Up, and Wash Up effectively on campus? Wear your mask! Masks should cover your nose and mouth and should be worn indoors in public spaces and outdoors when you can not effectively be physically distant from others. If you do not own a mask, you may purchase one in the Campus Store. Back Up: practice physical distancing by leaving 6 feet between you and others. Wash up: wash your hands often.

What should I do if I was exposed to someone with COVID-19? Report any potential exposure or symptoms to the Dean of Students Office and follow any instructions they provide to seek medical care or to quarantine.

What should I do if I see another student who isn't wearing a mask? Remember, this is the year of community. Please remind them nicely to wear their mask. We are all doing this for each other. Should you have questions, you may contact the Dean of Students Office.

How will office hours be managed? All support services are still fully available to you; some are just offered in a different way. For example:

All seating areas for Phil’s and Wingra have been spaced out for social distancing. Also, Stations that used to be self-serve are now either served by Dining Staff or are single packaged items.
Health Services will see students for non-COVID concerns by appointment only. Personal counseling will be provided via telehealth.
Current information on library services during COVID-19 is available on on the library website.

Fall 2020 Update – We Made It

Title : Fall 2020 Update – We Made It

Posting Date / Time : Dec 11, 2020, 11:45 AM

Dear Students and Colleagues –

This is it, the last day of finals week. We made it. I talked quite a bit about gratitude at Thanksgiving this year, and that feeling is still with me. I am deeply grateful for the perseverance demonstrated by the students, faculty, and staff of this community. You worked together, did what needed to be done, and today I hope you feel like you’ve accomplished something that is both awesome and meaningful. Well done all!

Now it’s time to take a break. Remember that for the spring semester, we’ll follow the academic calendar as scheduled, which means spring break in March and Easter break in April. And we’ve just announced our intention to hold Commencement, as scheduled, in May 2021. Time will tell if that comes to pass, and a lot of things outside of our control need to go “right.” But I have every confidence – as evidenced by this semester we’ve just experienced – that as a community we will do what it takes to put ourselves in a place to celebrate our graduates in-person in May. We’ll still be masked-up in January, and we’ll still offer remote options for our in-person classes, but I hope you agree that even as we’re in the darkest days of the calendar, there is light ahead.

Tonight marks the second night of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights in the Jewish tradition. A blessing that is said on the first night thanks the Creator for keeping us alive, sustaining us, and bringing us to this season. Gratitude. Christmas is now two weeks away, and with it the joy of celebrating Christ’s birth, and a new beginning. My wish for you all – regardless of your faith tradition or spiritual alignment – is for the light and peace of the season now upon us to give you rest and sustenance.

Be well, and be safe. Wear your mask.

Cor ad cor loquitur.

-Andrew P. Manion, Ph.D.
