As we move into our third week of classes, I hope you are healthy and finding ways to be engaged with your students, your faculty and staff colleagues, and your own scholarly and community-based work.
My title for this week is likely going to be a little puzzling to some of you but I promise to explain it in just a minute. It was inspired by the growing body of comments I’ve encountered since semester began that basically boil down to: “we’re not really back to normal are we?”
We hope your first week of classes was productive and safe. Several quick things:
Get Tested for Covid right on campus: The university is not requiring Covid testing of the campus community – the kind of testing that would allow us to be better on top of any increases in Covid cases. However, testing is available, and we encourage faculty/librarians to call the UHS testing hotline at 617-287-4355 to request a regular/weekly COVID-19 test. The more of us who get tested the better.
