COVID-19 & the CU Anschutz Community
June 26, 2020
A Message from Chancellor Elliman
Our slow and safe phased return to working and learning activity continues, and we thank those who have been approved for return for closely adhering to established safety protocols and entry screening processes. Your continued cooperation is essential if we are to maintain a safe campus environment.
We know many of you may be feeling anxious to return to campus, and I assure you that campus leadership is working hard to bring more people and areas back safely and steadily. In the meantime, any working and learning activity that can be effectively accomplished remotely, should continue to be done remotely.
Your well-being is our top priority, and we appreciate your patience and partnership as we continue to navigate our safe return.
Sincerely,
Don Elliman
Chancellor
