Faculty Senate holds April meeting
Spring sunshine and more-plentiful Covid-19 vaccines have given socially distanced Blue Hens a bright ray of hope for the kind of fall they remember.
Those optimistic feelings are surely welcome, so long as theyâre tempered by reality, and accompanied by caution, University of Delaware President Dennis Assanis told professors at Aprilâs regular meeting of the Faculty Senate.
âI want to take this opportunity to thank you from my heart for your patience, your cooperation, your resilience for over 12 months now,â Assanis told the senators. âObviously this pandemic will come to an end. Weâre not quite there yet though, and I want to ask everybody to continue to do two things: Not let your guard down, and get a vaccine as soon as it is offered to you.ââ
