Dear Bereans,
This is the update for Monday, July 26, 2021. It’s hard to believe that the impacts of COVID-19 have been troubling our community now for more than 500 days!
Next week the campus update will come out on Tuesday, August 3rd due to conflicts I have on Monday the 2nd.
Dear Bereans,
This is the update for Monday, July 19, 2021.
As of today, no on-campus students or employees are in any sort of quarantine. We are at about 82% employees (86% of non-PFE employees) who have documented their fully vaccinated status. WELL DONE BEREANS!

Dear Bereans,
This is the update for Monday, June 14, 2021. Happy Flag Day everyone.
Here’s a random question for you—perhaps one you’ve worried about before…. It seems likely that eventually the United States will add a 51st state, perhaps the District of Columbia, perhaps one of our interesting territories. It is interesting to think about how 51 stars will be arranged in the blue field of our flag then. Naturally there are websites considering the question, for example. I am doing a Zoom American Geography class with two grandchildren, and we worked on this problem a bit, coming up with two nice designs, neither of which is included in the above website. If you come up with something interesting, you are invited to send it to me—I will share the grandkids ideas in return.

This is the update for Tuesday, June 1, 2021. As we have reached the end of the 20-21 academic year, and as the progression of the pandemic is mostly moving in favorable directions, I have decided to reduce the frequency of the campus updates to once per week, generally on Mondays excepting holidays.
No on-campus employees or students are in any sort of quarantine at present. We are at almost 65% employees who have documented fully vaccinated status.
