This biweekly Global email is sent to faculty and staff at UBC Okanagan to highlight institutional information pertaining to campus resumption, and to provide updates that are specific to the successful, safe return of the UBC Okanagan campus community. Expect the next issue of this Global email on August 25.
Dear colleagues,
As we look forward to our imminent return to campus, we'd like to thank you for your ongoing, proactive work to support each other. As we move forward over the next several weeks, your flexibility and dedication to a safe, measured return is appreciated.
This is the seventh edition of our biweekly update and we continue to make progress in our return plans. Over the next month, staffing will resume in some areas of campus as we finalize our classroom and common area spaces, as well as ramp up administrative and academic preparations for the coming term.
As always, if you have questions that are specific to the pandemic, resumption planning or health and safety on campus, you can contact ready.ok@ubc.ca. We further encourage you to check the UBC Okanagan COVID-19 website regularly as we make every effort to post the latest information as it becomes available.
