Marshall Memos Fall 2020, Week 3

Facebook | Instagram | Website

Hi everyone, Congratulations to all of our Transfer students during National Transfer week! There are many events you can get involved in both across UC San Diego and in Marshall College. You can also join me to talk about Transfer resources with Julia Ng from the Triton Transfer Hub during TMC Community Hours on Instagram Live next Thursday at 1:00pm PST. I hope everyone’s quarter is going well so far. I am teaching my first ever remote class, and I’m somehow managing to get through it! I’m really grateful for my students who seem to have this canvas thing down far better than me right now. As always, please let me, or Dean Amber Vlasnik or Dean Clare Harrington, or our teams, know if we can support you in any way. I also wanted to shout out to all of our students who live on campus. As you probably know, repeated covid testing, especially of people without symptoms, is crucial for us all being able to be back on campus in person, hopefully sometime soon! The target is for 90% of the students to be on time for their biweekly tests. I learned this week that Marshall is doing the best of all areas on campus, with 80% of our students caught up on their testing. Thank you so much for that; it is because of your selfless actions that we will hopefully all be on campus again soon. I’m proud of you! Best, Leslie Carver
