Warmest greetings as we near the return to campus. We are very proud of the strength and resolve of our faculty and students during this challenging time.
Currently, our plan is to conduct the 2021 spring semester using the new 15-week model. Starting January 11th, students will have available face-to-face classes; synchronized online classes, wherein the class will meet "live" at set days and times; asynchronized online classes that are , or don’t meet in real time; and hybrid classes, wherein students will rotate in their classes between in-person with their professor, or will engage with their class in real time from a computer.
Students should be sure to look at the home page of each course the modality of the class they are enrolled, so they know how the class is scheduled to be delivered. We regret that we find ourselves, once again, with a need to appeal to everyone’s flexibility and good will to adapt to a new set of challenges presented by COVID-19.
I wish you and your loved ones health, safety, hope, and joy for the New year 2021.
Sincerely,
