Dear Staff Colleagues,

The Howard University Re-opening Taskforce formed by President Frederick to guide planning regarding the reopening of the physical campus has met several times and is preparing relevant recommendations and guidelines for consideration. The Fall 2020 Preparation Committee also continues to meet to assess the many complex and operational issues involved in re-opening the campus including testing requirements, social distancing, athletics, sanitation of the campus, housing assignments, the protection of high-risk individuals, and much more. As noted previously, we anticipate that a formal decision regarding the format of instruction for the Fall, 2020 semester (face-to-face, fully online, or hybrid) will be announced by President Frederick in mid-June.

A Staff Town Hall has been scheduled for Thursday, June 18, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. to provide updates to the staff, and discuss issues of importance and concern related to Fall 2020 preparation, including health and safety concerns.  Provost Anthony Wutoh will serve as the host for the Town Hall. Discussants will include Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and Co-Chair of the Howard University Fall 2020 Planning Committee, Mr. Larry A. Callahan, Vice President of Human Resources, and a member of the Re-opening Taskforce, and Ms. Monique McClung, President, Howard University Staff Organization and member of the Re-opening Taskforce.
