Dear ISU CVM Students,
Yesterday you received a communication from President Wintersteen announcing a modified schedule for Fall 2020. The College of Veterinary Medicine will be following the modified schedule as well as the other modifications announced by President Wintersteen. This announcement will not affect the VM4 rotation schedule, but will impact the schedule for VM1 – VM3 courses. Our instructors are already engaged in the necessary work to adapt to these modifications. While this coming semester will not be a typical fall semester, our objective is to ensure that you receive a high quality education, including the face-to-face experiences you need to meet course learning objectives.
We realize that some of you may have prior plans for the week of August 17, Because the semester will move quickly, and there will be much to learn, we encourage you to do all you can to adjust your schedules so that you can participate fully in classes that week. Students who have unalterable commitments are encouraged to contact fall instructors to explore alternatives for completing any missed work.
Kind regards,
Jared Danielson, PhD
Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs
