Dear  Students,  Faculty  and  Staff  –



As  we  learn  more  about  the  trajectory  of  COVID-19  over  the  coming  weeks,  I  want  to  urge  each  of  you  to  take  every  step  necessary  to  have  a  safe  and  healthy  winter  break.  The  UIS  COVID-19  Rapid  Response  Team  and  the  Chancellor’s  Cabinet  will  continue  to  monitor  conditions  and  meet  early  in  the  new  year  to  assess  whether  any  additional  mitigations  should  be  implemented  for  Spring  semester.</div>
