As you have heard, following the identification of COVID-19 cases in Johnson County, the University of Iowa is suspending face-to-face instruction for two weeks following spring break. The university will move to virtual instruction beginning March 23, 2020, and continue remotely through at least April 3, 2020. To align with this decision and proactively maintain the health and safety of our community, we are asking all student organizations affiliated with Tippie to suspend all in-person meetings and events between March 23rd and April 3rd. Social distancing, less frequent face-to-face contact with other people, has been proven to substantially reduce the spread of illness like COVID-19. In that spirit, you can continue to conduct business as an organization but you must do so without convening as a group, face-to-face.
