<p class="MsoNormal">Dear students:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As noted in President Thrasher’s message below, beginning on March 23 and at least through April 5, FSU will shift all in-person classes to remote classes. Moreover, students are encouraged to leave campus for spring break and the two weeks
immediately after that. Since the <b><u>2020 Marvalene Hughes Research in Education Conference
</u></b>was scheduled to take place during this period (it had been scheduled for April 3),
<b><u>the conference has been canceled</u></b>. Plans for the 2021 Hughes Conference are yet to be determined.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hughes Conference travel funds are still available to faculty and students who have already traveled to the regional/national conference they had specified in their Hughes conference proposal. If the regional or national conference you
had planned to attend has been canceled or has not yet occurred, please cancel your trip immediately. If you incur some penalties for doing so, funds may be available to cover those expenses. Please contact the travel representative in your department about
this matter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last, several applicants have expressed an interest in moving their application into next year, if you would like to take advantage of this offer, please send me a message at
<a href="mailto:rwalker4@fsu.edu">rwalker4@fsu.edu</a>. I will make the form available for editing and will send you a link. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Florida State University has proactively monitored and responded to daily developments as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread in Florida and across the United States.<br>
<br>
Administrators campus-wide have met every day for several weeks to assess and carry out protocols and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), Florida Department of Health, and other medical authorities.<br>
<br>
Our highest priority remains the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff. Therefore, we will shift to online instruction for all courses on March 23 for a period of at least two weeks.<br>
<br>
FSU has a robust emergency plan in place and is fully prepared to provide instruction online or by other methods. We are taking this action proactively to protect not only our campus community but the larger community as well.<br>
<br>
<u>Important Dates:</u><br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">March 14 at Noon</span></strong> – Residence halls will close to visitors and for those residents who depart for spring break. Residents who stay may remain in the halls.<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">March 23 – April 5</span></strong> – Classes will be held via remote instruction.<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">April 4 at Noon</span></strong> – Residence halls are anticipated to reopen to visitors and those residents who traveled for spring break.<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">April 6</span></strong> – Face-to-face classes are anticipated to resume.<br>
<br>
<u>Campus Operations:</u><br>
Beginning at the end of the academic day on Friday, March 20, and through at least April 4, Florida State University will move from face-to-face instruction to online instruction and other alternative methods.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
