All areas of university operations are continually being assessed, including student support and resources.

The University Emergency Operations Policy Group is meeting every morning, at a minimum, and more frequently if needed. Our priority is to continually assess all areas of university operations and to make responsive and timely decisions

Provost Dr. Mike Perry and Student Life Vice President Dr. Randy Worden are staying in regular contact with our students to offer support and resources. One example is preparing for the critical advising and registration period for next fall that will open on April 1. Current processes are being adapted so advisors, and in particular, first-year advisors can work with students remotely through Zoom and other technologies. Another example is ramping up services for all students to have access to online tutoring and supplemental instruction services through our Center for Learning Strategies and the Writing Center.  Beyond learning, staying actively engaged with our students is also very important. While gatherings and activities may be halted, our Student Life staff are finding innovative ways through social media to interact with students and reinforce that we care deeply about our RU community and will get through this together.
