<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:black">Hope summer is going well and you are staying safe. Time is moving fast and in less than two months you all will be thinking seriously and making plans to return to campus. For those in
the U.S. at this time, returning to school in August is not complicated. Those who travelled home outside of the U.S. may have some hurdles to scale and that is why the Office of International Programs is contacting you so you are aware of these issues.

The totality of these actions may definitely
make the return to the U.S. in August or earlier for student athletes very stressful. The Office of International Programs is raising awareness now so you consider these factors as you plan your return to campus in fall.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">On Tuesday, June 23, 2020, there will be a meeting on campus to discuss many issues related to international students’ return to campus in August. I will keep you informed with another email on June 24, 2020. In
the meantime, please liaise with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate nearest to you at home for guidance on your return to campus. Also, feel free to email me with your questions. I will be in touch on June 24<sup>th</sup> definitely. Please do the research and
stay safe! <b><span style="font-family:"Lucida Calligraphy"">Go Lions!</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
