KEEP YOUR COMMUNITIES SAFE
Schools like UNC Chapel Hill and Notre Dame started the semester in-person and have now suspended in-person instruction because of clusters of activities linked to off-campus parties, residence halls and SFL houses. Our community depends on the responsible behavior of all students, faculty and staff. Please do your part in keeping our campus open. Read more>
