51³Ô¹ÏÍø

Today, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Bret Danilowicz sent the following message to the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø community. I'm sharing it here for anyone who might not have seen it.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø Colleagues and Students,

As we prepare for the start of a fall semester that looks very different than our typical academic experience, I want to take a moment to acknowledge these difficult times and your commitment to the pursuit of higher education.

Our faculty and staff members have worked countless hours preparing for a campus experience that is as safe as feasible. Our 51³Ô¹ÏÍø have shown patience and flexibility as we navigate this historic re-opening. We must all come together as an academic community to keep each other healthy.

A few reminders for the start of classes: 

- Faculty, staff and 51³Ô¹ÏÍø will need to clean their work surface areas upon entering a room using the provided disinfectant wipes.

- Properly worn face coverings are absolutely required in academic buildings and classrooms.

- Maintain six feet of physical distancing whenever possible.

- Regularly wash your hands.

Remote options for academic instruction will be available to all 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, with very few exceptions. Students should directly consult their syllabi and instructors to understand how to access their classes remotely. If you have questions or concerns about the re-opening plans, email 51³Ô¹ÏÍøCOVID19@fau.edu.

This will not be easy. With your resiliency, your support for your fellow Owls, and by following university guidelines, we can keep our 51³Ô¹ÏÍø progressing and our academic community thriving.

Sincerely,

Bret Danilowicz
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
