You have all worked so hard these past few weeks under some exceptional circumstances.
Now that we have entered the second half of the fall semester, our thoughts turn toward our next transition taking place after the Thanksgiving break. We’re writing to share some important information about the last few weeks of the semester. These operational adjustments are designed to protect the health and safety of our campus community in light of expected increases in COVID rates through the winter months.
Starting Monday, November 30:
If you have any questions about how things will run after Thanksgiving, please check with your supervisor, department chair or unit lead.
Above all, throughout these next few weeks please remember to take care of yourself, reach out for support when you need it, and stay virtually connected with your colleagues and support systems. Keep doing your part and be vigilant about wearing your face mask, social distancing and conducting your daily health check.
Thank you, as always, for your steadfast support of our students and UTSA. We are grateful for all of you!
