The recent killings of African Americans in our nation and the protests occurring nationwide once again demonstrate the anger and frustration over years of racial disparity, violence, poverty and inequitable treatment.

I want to thank everyone who attended the VCEA Town Hall last Friday. With 200 participants on Zoom, we were able to have breakout sessions and discuss the successes and challenges of the spring semester.

I want to thank everyone who participated in last week’s VCEA Town Hall.

I also wanted to pass along some of the follow-up action items and links from the Town Hall.

It is with much sadness that I share the news that our friend and colleague Rob Rioux passed away this week.

Congratulations! We’ve made it to finals week. While this semester has been different than others, many things remain the same, including, that students have completed or are completing their work and that faculty are completing assessments of student learning.

The following is an update on the WSU’s current expectations with regards to Course Evaluations from the Spring 2020 semester.

Thanks to all of you who were able to attend last Friday’s VCEA Town Hall. If you weren’t able to make it, you can watch this Zoom video of the meeting.

If you’re like me, you’re probably finding this new remote workplace we are in to be both exciting and challenging at the same time. I know it has been difficult and stressful for many of you to adapt to this environment of social-distancing while balancing the demands of work with the needs of your families.

Congratulations on making it to week three of online teaching and week four of teleworking!

I continue to be impressed with our collective success in pulling off this transition relatively seamlessly. Yet, I know that many of us have been running on adrenaline and that that is beginning to wear thin.
