We are experiencing an unprecedented health emergency. We are filled with anxiety and concern for family and friends, but I know we will get through this as a global community, nation and as members of the Law Center family.
While the world is looking for answers to deal with the unprecedented impact of this pandemic, I can assure you that we are doing everything we can to continue operations, protect the safety of our personnel and students, and fulfill our mission of providing a quality legal education.
As you no doubt know, the Law Center faculty will be teaching remotely from March 23 through at least April 4 when the situation will be reevaluated. Students are being encouraged to stay at home. Health and safety measures are in effect while a number of steps have been taken to assure continuation of academic studies and student services.
Faculty has been instructed on alternative means of delivering course material; student outreach has been increased and counseling and psychological services remain available; the UHLC bar prep course will be conducted online; virtual employer networking and a potential virtual job fair are being explored; and enhanced virtual alumni outreach is planned.
Given the Center for Disease Control guidance about discouraging events over 10 people, all Law Center events through the end of April have been cancelled. In addition, the 44th Annual GALA and Auction has been postponed until August 29. At that time, we will all come together to celebrate.
We have our eye on the immediate, but we are looking to the future. Be safe.
Sincerely,
Leonard M. Baynes |
