Let’s work together to ensure we can provide a vibrant, in-person experience for our students this coming academic year. It is our hope and expectation that all traditionally in-person classes will be in person next fall. Many ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students desire the in-person experience and many of our international students, in particular, require in-person classes just to be able to attend ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. Thank you for your efforts throughout the pandemic.

Thanks for choosing ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ.Ìý

Dan White, chancellor
