Campus update for Aug. 18, 2020
Aug. 18, 2020
Dear students,
Even though most of you are not here yet, the pace is picking up around campus. There is a lot to talk about and to learn.
For that reason, Campus Update will start arriving a little more often in your inbox: Monday-Wednesday-Friday for now.
Please read! And do not hesitate to ask a question or reply with a suggestion.
We keep all the Updates archived, in case you want to look something up.
If you bought a parking permit, you can pick it up at the Facilities Office in Sorensen Hall.
If you have not purchased a permit, no worries! You can still order one by mail OR, if you are on campus, buy one at the Facilities Office.
Here are the details, and things you need to know before you go to Facilities.
Our annual Opening Convocation for new students and their families starts at 7 p.m. CDT this Monday, Aug. 24. Tune in on YouTube live for music and inspiration from our speakers, plus some surprises.
