In this critical time for higher education and the economy, I am writing to let you know that we have been working closely with the government officials who are entrusted with deciding how to allocate COVID-19 emergency resources that could potentially benefit higher education institutions, including the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½.
I invite students, faculty, staff, alumni and parents to join me and other community members for a digital conversation about how physical distance has impacted teaching, learning, wellbeing and our sense of community at DU.
During these extraordinary times, when each day brings another unforeseen challenge, it is critical to stay focused on our mission, our visionÌýandÌýour principles. Today the issue is a modified Pass/Fail option for our students and the principle is equity.
Our work to support diversity, equity and inclusion is especially important now, as crises typically put a disproportionate amount of pressure on marginalized populations.
Welcome to spring quarter and the rest of spring semester. There is no doubt that the journey ahead will be one that none of us will forget. As I look ahead with optimism and confidence, my first priority is to express my profound thanks to every member of the DU community.
