As we look ahead to the second half of the semester, I want to share with you recent communication from our provost related to state and federal executive orders and actions that are impacting higher education.
You may wonder how this affects you and your classmates. Federal and state legislative, agency and administrative actions continue to unfold, and we are still learning their ultimate impact. There will likely be changes to some of our policies, programs, celebrations, awards ceremonies and events. The university is taking a systematic approach in addressing these actions to ensure compliance while focusing on the goal of supporting all students.
I know that you might have questions and concerns. My door is always open to talk, or you can reach out to members of my staff. As more information comes to light, we’ll meet individually with student groups as needed. We also have resources to support you if you’re struggling: The CARE Team is here to help.
I encourage you to participate in the upcoming virtual SGA town hall at 3:15 p.m. Thursday, April 10 via YouTube, where you can ask questions about any topic.
Above all, I want to emphasize that we are in this together as a campus community, and we remain dedicated to being here for all Shocker students. Thank you for being a part of our university.
Dr. Teri Hall, vice president of Student Affairs
