[Academic-Affairs] Student Mandatory Testing

[Office of the Provost/VPAA]

Colleagues,
I wanted you to be aware of the information below re: student
mandatory testing coming up next week.  It would be helpful, when you are
meeting in person with students to take the opportunity to quickly remind
them of this requirement.  We are working hard as a campus to support and
maintain the safest campus environment possible.  With students, in
particular, we are told that they don't always regularly check their
college email accounts.

Thank you,
Anne
