COVID-19 Town Hall Meetings
As we prepare for the return of Pirate Nation to campus this fall, virtual town hall-style meetings offer us a chance to connect with faculty, staff, parents and families and directly address concerns and questions.
The Return of Pirate Nation presents a phased plan for the return to campus for employees, students and visitors in the most responsible way possible, balancing the needs of campus with the well-being of our community and the individual. As we navigate through this pandemic, faculty, staff, students and visitors must prepare for some inconveniences and adopt community health measures.
Simply put: For us to return, we must accept less independence, more guidelines and rules, and several key community expectations. We must work together. We hope you will accept this important responsibility for our community and our university.
