To the UC Davis community:
As we reach the end of this very challenging quarter, we want to commend students, faculty and staff for their resilience in the face of the many disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 public health emergency. Our continued monitoring of the situation leads us to even more difficult decisions for spring quarter 2020.
As we continue to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we want to ensure our most vulnerable students receive necessary support during this time of crisis. For many, the UC Davis campus is a haven. Community spaces like Aggie Compass and The Pantry provide essential services for students facing housing issues and food insecurity. In a time of crisis, ensuring that these services continue is of utmost importance.
Acting out of an abundance of caution amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we have decided to take additional steps in our efforts to protect our students, faculty and staff, and the community at large, as we all do our part to help contain the spread of the virus.
