FAQ:  

How can I Mask Up, Back Up, and Wash Up effectively on campus?  Wear your mask! Masks should cover your nose and mouth and should be worn indoors in public spaces and outdoors when you can not effectively be physically distant  from others. If you do not own a mask, you may purchase one in the Campus Store. Back Up: practice physical distancing by leaving 6 feet between you and others. Wash up: wash your hands often. 

What should I do if I was exposed to someone with COVID-19?  Report any potential exposure or symptoms to the Dean of Students Office and follow any instructions they provide to seek medical care or to quarantine. 

What should I do if I see another student who isn't wearing a mask? Remember, this is the year of community.  Please remind them nicely to wear their mask. We are all doing this for each other. Should you have questions, you may contact the Dean of Students Office. 

How will office hours be managed? All support services are still fully available to you; some are just offered in a different way. For example:  

  • All seating areas for Phil’s and Wingra have been spaced out for social distancing. Also, Stations that used to be self-serve are now either served by Dining Staff or are single packaged items.  
  • Health Services will see students for non-COVID concerns by appointment only. Personal counseling will be provided via telehealth. 
  • Current information on library services during COVID-19 is available on on the library website.

New Hotline Established for Students

Title : New Hotline Established for Students
Posting Date / Time : Sep 24, 2020, 10:50 AM
Dear Students –

I’m sending this message only to you, our students.

In response to a request from the Student Senate, we have established a hotline for students to facilitate our “if you see something, say something” approach to slowing the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

I am encouraged by the small downturn in the number of positive cases, and I thank you all for what you are doing to make that happen. While it is true that we have had a small number of cases of serious violations of our COVID-19 protocols on campus, those are the exception. As a rule, the vast majority of you are doing exactly what we are asking of our entire community: wearing your mask, maintaining physical distancing at all times, and tightening your social circles. But I recognize that sometimes we forget or let our guard down. So, to help us all work together, we are providing you with a tool requested by the leadership of the Student Senate.

As I shared in my communication last week, if you see behavior – on-campus or off – that you feel should be addressed, please use our COVID-19 form, available online. In addition, you can now call or text (see email). This line is monitored by Security. Reports received on it are addressed immediately if needed, and in all cases will be routed to the Dean of Students Office.

Our goal remains, and always has been, education with these protocols. It is not for ourselves that we take these steps. We do it for each other. We do it for the most vulnerable in our community, in our circles of friends, and in our own families. What we do off-campus is just as important as what we do on campus, and it is up to each of us to do the right thing.  

Be well.

Cor ad cor loquitur.
