<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28247904"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28251279">If we’ve already documented a response to my questions, please point me in that direction. In case not: How many of you are closed to the public on Fridays,
but it is still a work day for staff? How many are just closed on Friday’s, with no employees working? How many temporarily closed on Friday’s while ramping up for ctcLink? I’m interested in any variation of closure your college previously did or is currently
doing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28247904"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28251279">If any of the above applied to you: How did you communicate these closures to your students and campus and what was the reception?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28247904"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28251279">We are exploring closing to the public on Friday’s through ctcLink implementation (in the midst of other big lifts like GP and implementing EAB). RTC is DG6,
so March-ish of 2022. I appreciate any kernels of wisdom you might offer regarding the efficacy of closing and how your community responded. Please feel free to email me directly at
