Welcome to the start of the fall 2021 semester
Tomorrow is our First Day of Classes, and the transformation of our campus this past week has been remarkable, with students and parents milling around Polk Place, maps (or phone apps) in hand, browsing the T-shirt selection at the Student Stores or making their way to their residence halls, suitcases in tow. The energy is palpable.

PPE pickup instructions for research spaces in other departments
These instructions are for acquiring masks and cleaning/disinfecting supplies for research labs and spaces, not for instructional or other departmental use.
