Monday Minutes

Here are your Monday Minutes for August 10-14, 2020

From the Department Head

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff, 

I wish you all a warm welcome to the 2020-2021 academic year! My number one priority is your health and safety. Champ was busy welcoming students into the dorms, so this raccoon is here to welcome you back and remind you to wash your hands, wear your mask, social distance, and remember all campus hygiene protocols! When you come into Reid Hall, you will see clear signage with requirements. Have a wonderful pre-week!

Take good care,

Ann Ewbank
