I am pleased to share that we welcomed students back to campus and to CAFNR for the spring semester last week. Seventy-eight percent of our courses have some portion of instruction in-person this semester. We appreciated the hard work of our students in following protocols last semester, and know they are dedicated to the same again this term. Mizzou did direct that undergraduate residential students take a COVID test before or just after returning to campus, and recommended that off-campus students do the same. Many of our CAFNR employees volunteered to assist in this tremendous campus effort of testing and compiling testing results. Otherwise, this semester will look much the same as the fall – we still ask that students, faculty and staff practice good hand-washing hygiene, in addition to social-distancing, symptom-monitoring and mask-wearing. I hope you, our dedicated CAFNR alumni and friends, are healthy and safe. We appreciate your support as we take on another unusual semester!
