#repost • @vu_chancellor A message from @VU_Chancellor Wente on social distancing: Day-to-day life at Vanderbilt looks significantly different today than it did last Monday. In the past seven days, we have made multiple complex decisions to further respond to the global coronavirus outbreak. I acknowledge that these are extraordinary preventive actions and assure you that each was guided by the advice of public health officials with the goal of doing our utmost to protect our community. I’m grateful to all of you who have responded calmly and rapidly to the tremendous amount of change we are experiencing and will likely continue to experience. Many of the steps we have undertaken are directed at promoting “social distancing,” one of the best ways to protect yourself from COVID-19, and essential for our community and nation to #FlattenTheCurve. I know that these actions might seem disruptive and upsetting; they certainly can be. But taking a step back, I also see the extraordinary actions our universities, government agencies, health care providers, businesses, and individuals are undertaking as an act of solidarity. Taking these steps is resounding evidence that even in these fractured times we can and will come together to protect the greater good. We, each member of our Vanderbilt family, will make a difference by making difficult decisions and choices. My sincere appreciation for your dedication to our mission, to our people, and to our broader community. Read the full message at VU.edu/open-mind #vandygram https://ift.tt/2xKlmMl

Due to new information received March 9, and based on our desire to protect the health and safety of our community from the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we are cancelling all university classes for the remainder of this week. In addition, beginning Monday, March 16 and through at least March 30, the university is suspending all in-person classes and is moving to online and other alternative learning options. Students will hear directly from their respective deans and/or faculty instructor regarding any specific instructions. To be clear, the university will remain open, and we will be actively reviewing the situation to determine if and when in-person classes may resume. We may extend the alternative learning approach through the end of the Spring semester (April 30) if necessary. We will keep in touch with you every step of the way. Since some students may need to remain on campus during this period of in-person class suspension, the campus will remain open with limited or reduced services.
