Returning to campus

As employees and students return to campuses and work spaces in advance of the fall 2021 semester—some for the first time since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020—the university has launched a wide-ranging effort designed to encourage members of the university community to come back together safely as they return to working and learning in-person.
