In a virtual town hall held Thursday, May 7, President Sarah Mangelsdorf and four other senior University leaders provided updates to the community about the impact of COVID-19 on the University, the actions they\u2019ve taken, and addressed several of more than 100 questions submitted by community members before and during the hour-long livestreamed event.<\/p>\n
Cautioning that there may be additional waves of the virus, Mangelsdorf expressed confidence that \u201cwhat we have now is the benefit of experience and an understanding of the virus, and that will make, I believe, a dramatic difference.\u201d The University\u2019s formal response to the virus began early in February, when Mangelsdorf assembled the Coronavirus University Response Team (CURT).<\/p>\n
