Good morning Truman Faculty, Staff, and Students!<\/p>\n
We have come to the end of the first week of classes and it has been quite an uplifting week.\u00a0 Our campus has come back to life with the energy and joy of being together.\u00a0 The sounds of lively conversations, engaged learning, and celebrations have returned.\u00a0 We have eagerly anticipated this time for over 5 months and we intensely want to stay together on campus until November 24.<\/p>\n
Your impact on our ability to remain on campus is not an abstract concept.\u00a0 Your decisions have direct consequences not just for yourself, but for others.\u00a0 The basic things you have to do \u2013 wear a mask, stay at least six feet away from others, and wash your hands frequently \u2013 are easy.\u00a0 Making the decision to do them can be hard.\u00a0 But Truman does not shy away from hard.<\/p>\n
To make the decision easier, look around at the people of Truman and think about those who mean so much to you. \u00a0Their ability to achieve their goals and to do things such as perform in music ensembles and theater productions, make art, conduct experiments in the lab, engage in athletic and student organization activities, and potentially for some, keep their jobs, is directly dependent upon what you do.\u00a0 You can make your on-campus goals and those of your friends and colleagues a reality by making safe, empathetic, and caring decisions.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let yourself or them down.<\/p>\n
All of us are Truman and it is going to take every one of us doing what is necessary to ensure we stay on campus until November 24.\u00a0 The experiences of other universities do not need to be and should not be our experience.\u00a0 We are \u201cdistinct by design\u201d and we can positively live this distinction in how we deal with the challenges of being on campus during a pandemic.\u00a0 We can do this!<\/p>\n
Wishing you a fun and SAFE weekend,
