If you decide to try something, you can submit the event in Handshake for approval and once approved, you are off and running!
Please note that with the closure/reduced density of the residence halls, students may no longer have a local presence; your understanding of these unique circumstances is appreciated.
Additionally, the development of remote work options for students is encouraged. Please be aware that this guidance may change as the situation evolves.
