This morning we sent the campus community a message about the modified stay-at-home order that goes into effect at 5 pm today; read it here. Not knowing which students might be in NC right now, we erred on the side of caution by casting a wide net (and if your Deac is home with you in another state, they can disregard).
Finals week is nearly over, and we are coming to the end of our Finals Memes feature. Can I hear a Yeah, baby, yeah! for this one?
There are still a small number of students who are on campus or in quarantine or isolation. The Student Health Service sent me some information yesterday from the CDC around travel. For students currently on campus and planning to travel home, the CDC has released guidelines about domestic travel during the pandemic, and when to delay traveling.
Since we’re at the end of the semester, wanted to give an opportunity for you to give some feedback on the Daily Deac. There are three questions here for you to answer if you like – this is about what you would like to see more/less of in the Daily Deac, and it gives a place for you to ask questions you’d like the blog to answer.
Obviously this has been a different kind of semester in terms of this blog: heavier on news and COVID and lighter on a lot of other things I might normally cover if I had been on campus. I’m trying to strike the right balance, and your feedback will help me get a sense of where we are hitting the mark and what might be missing. If we get clear consensus, we’ll try to incorporate your feedback, and I will answer your questions as best I can.
We’ll close today with another gem from Ken Bennett’s photo archive. This struck me as a particularly arty shot. Hope you like it. And a program note: I will be taking some time off and pre-posting content for the blog while I am away. We are in the midst of Hanukkah, and soon it will be Christmas, then New Years – so in advance let me wish you all the happiest of holidays!
