VICE PRESIDENT ENEWS MESSAGES

I think we can all easily agree this has been a start to a new school year unlike any before at UGA. It has been wonderful to see students back on campus and engaging with each other in new (masked and socially distanced) ways. It has also been challenging as students have online and hybrid courses and are still adjusting to new modes of learning, along with many other new aspects of campus life.

We are always a learning community, but I am especially reminded of how much learning we’re all doing right now. When it comes to campus life and COVID-19, our efforts are constantly evolving. We get new information each day. Some of our approaches prove successful; others require continued focus. We refine and adapt and keep students at the center.

I know we all look forward to a time when today’s pandemic is a distant memory, but as we learn through this together, let’s continue to meet the moment to support our students—in all ways and modes possible. As always, they are ready to learn. We should be just as ready.
