During a recent stormy day, there were several people waiting to use the elevator at the base of the VU, but it soon became apparent that it was not working. One of those people asked how she was supposed to get to Old Main, and Jeremy McAllister (manager of IT for the Viking Union) mentioned the stairs next to the Viking Commons and the woman (who had a lot of stuff with her) seemed to be quite annoyed. So Jeremy said that he’d be happy to carry her things and walk with her to Old Main. Which he did.

I know that one of the biggest questions on the minds of students and their families, and faculty and staff alike, is will we return to face-to-face operations in fall quarter? Needless to say, this involves a highly complex set of decisions that require planning for circumstances that no one can fully predict at the moment.
