What you can do to help today
| by Laurie Patton
Dear Faculty and Staff,
A number of you have reached out to us to ask how you can help with our coronavirus response. We so appreciate it. We’ve been moved by your willingness to pitch in and care for the community.
Here’s something you can do to help. Today and tomorrow will see the most students departing campus. We’re sure many of you are having last-minute conversations with them before you resume your relationship remotely in late March.
You are the primary educators and influencers of our students. So, the most important thing you can do right now to help is remind and reinforce to students that social distancing is essential. It’s the best way to protect those who are more vulnerable in our community, who could include their own friends, professors, and staff members.
We will stay in close touch.
Yours for Middlebury,
Laurie P.
