The following memo was sent out to Faculty Senate list-serv yesterday. In an effort to promote visibility the memo is being re-posted here.
While this memo is directed towards faculty, many of the resources provided below (and as an attachment) are also accessible to staff and students.

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to you on behalf of the Faculty Caregiving Advisory Committee. We hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy in these exceptional times. While we are all eager to return to a vibrant campus community, we are also aware that the pandemic continues to impact the personal and professional lives of our faculty, staff and students. Below is a list of several resources that you may continue to find helpful during the spring semester. If you need additional help or have any questions about available resources we encourage you to reach out to your Chair or supervisor.

You may also contact me or any of the other members of the Faculty Caregiving Advisory Committee if you have any ideas for additional ways in which our committee can support you.
