Hello CEE Students,

We look forward to welcoming you back to largely in-person instruction next week. As messages from UW President Cauce and Provost Richards have said, we realize that on-going impacts of COVID may make it necessary for you to miss class at times during the remainder of the quarter. Faculty will accommodate these absences, but please reach out to advising staff or to me, earlier rather than later, if you need additional support once we shift to largely in-person instruction.

President Cauce and Provost Richards have encouraged you also to “level-up” your COVID protection with KN95, KF94, N95 or surgical mask, and the university is making these available to you (details will be posted to uw.edu/coronavirus this week). Double masking with a surgical mask beneath a cloth mask is considered a good approach to improving COVID protection. CEE will provide you with a reusable cloth mask and with surgical masks, as needed; both are available in More 201.

We look forward to seeing you, in person, next week.
