Dear Faculty Senators, Deans, Chairs, and friends,<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a 6-minute video summary<\/a> of this week\u2019s COVID numbers, which have flattened after several weeks of increases, but are still above the level we\u2019d like to see.<\/p>\n

Some of this week\u2019s cases are the \u201cbloom\u201d from last week\u2019s cases spreading through their pods, and we don\u2019t think the bloom is quite over yet. Please remember the basics \u2013 avoiding crowds AND distance AND masks AND handwashing. While 6 ft is a good standard, it\u2019s not a magic barrier to COVID-19, so keeping more distance in well ventilated spaces is definitely recommended.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Student Government for this week\u2019s tip sheet on voting. \u00a0https:\/\/www.truman.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Tip-Sheet-How-to-be-safe-while-voting.pdf<\/a> If you do find yourself in quarantine or isolation on election day, you can call the county clerk, (660) 665-3350, to learn options about a last minute absentee ballot. You can also check out 1-866-OUR-VOTE, https:\/\/866ourvote.org\/<\/a>, for help.<\/p>\n

Student Government has a second tip sheet this week of Mental Health Tips for the classroom, building on their best practices document from the summer.<\/p>\n

Also thanks to Katie Judd, who has compiled some coping resources for students. While we faculty and staff can help share these resources with students, almost all of them are good for us, too. If we learn one thing from her post, it\u2019s that we don\u2019t have to solve everything at once. Work on one thing right now \u2013 Take a walk, drink more water, get a good night\u2019s sleep \u2013 even if you can\u2019t fix everything today.<\/p>\n
