We will be a "vaccinated campus" in winter quarter, with students attending classes or using services in person being required to attest to their vaccination status. We will continue to maintain 3 feet social distancing and mask-wearing for in-person tutoring,
even if the governor's order expires (these will be my own stipulations as the director of the center). </div>

I plan to work with IS to have computer screens connecting for screen-sharing, set up 3 feet apart, at which the tutor and student can sit separately and look at the course material together (eBook, Canvas class, etc.). We have rolling whiteboards that can
be used for drawing instead of paper. There will be no plexiglass barriers. </div>
