<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope everybody is staying safe and healthy during this time. I have received a few questions about how COVID-19 is going to affect the rest of the semester for student organizations. Here is a quick follow-up on that and some additional
updates.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently, events and meetings are canceled until May 31. The event/meeting restriction does not include hosting meetings online. I would highly encourage you to engage and meet virtually still. There are many different platforms you can
use to accomplish this. If you want to host an end of the year banquet for your organization, you can still do that virtually. If you need help or ideas with anything, I am here to assist.<o:p></o:p></p>
