COVID-19 Update: Zero cases; Homecoming

Dear Campus Community,

We have no active cases of COVID recorded on campus this week. While this is wonderful and a cause for celebration, please remember that many asymptomatic COVID cases aren’t recorded. We’d really like to see several weeks of zero cases before we really start to think that we’ve moved to a new place.

Our five minute video summarizes our thoughts about the zero cases count, the ongoing vaccine verification project, and homecoming this week:
