From: Marc d'Alarcao, Dean, College of 研究生学习

亲爱的上海外国语大学研究生:

As our campus responds to the coronavirus health crisis, I want to share with you some information that is especially relevant for graduate students. 我报告的内容 here is accurate as of this morning (3/12/20), but please be aware that the situation is evolving 和 some of this information may change. The most up to date 和 comprehensive information about the 菠菜网lol正规平台 response to the health crisis can be found at the 菠菜网lol正规平台健康咨询网站.

校园继续开放

In President Papazian’s March 9 message, she said that while in-person classes are suspended this week 和 will move to 联机或分布式格式 beginning on Monday 3/16, the “campus … remains open for normal business”. 这意味着一切 functions other than face-to-face class instruction continue with possible modifications 加强社交距离. Therefore, we expect that the following 活动 will continue: office hours, advising, tutoring 和 peer mentoring, (some of which may be held online), 和 department operations.

Small, in-person classes that cannot easily be moved to an on-line format, such as lab courses, studio art courses, or ensemble performances, 可能下周继续. 如果你 are teaching or taking such a class, please check with your supervisor or instructor for the situation with your specific course. 对于那些 who will work off campus or connect virtually, IT provides a number of technology 可能有用的工具请参阅菠菜网lol正规平台 IT Work Anywhere.

Research, Scholarship, 和 Creative Activities (RSCA)

Please consult with your faculty advisor regarding the status of your on-campus RSCA 活动. 教师 must obtain approval from the dean to continue RSCA projects with 现场学生参与. Approval may involve determining how the RSCA plans or schedule can be modified to reduce transmission risk, such as limiting or staggering the hours of students’ involvement to control the number of people present.

领域经验

We expect that most internships, clinical placements, student teaching, service learning, 等. 将如期进行. Exceptions to this expectation include:

如果你 have a reasonable concern that participating in a field experience will pose an inappropriate risk to your own health or the health of others.
如果你 have had any known exposure to some一个 who has tested positive for COVID-19.
如果你r placement has closed down due to health concerns 和/or is limiting access 给学生.

如果你 believe that you fall into any of these three categories, please contact your supervisor, instructor, 和/or program coordinator for guidance.

学生住宿

如果你 believe that you are at risk or otherwise unable to engage in ongoing educational 活动，您可以联系无障碍教育中心 (AEC) for temporary disability accommodations as determined by AEC. 学生将 not be penalized in any way if they request accommodations because they or those with whom they are in regular contact are at greater risk.

旅行

All international travel 和 non-essential domestic travel for professional business are suspended from now until the end of the semester (May 31, 2020). 出席 a conference is not considered essential travel. 如果你 believe that travel is essential, discuss it with your supervisor 和 department chair. 必要的旅行将需要 be approved by the disciplinary dean 和 the provost.

如果你 were scheduled to present at a conference 和 are unable to do so, please consider still listing the accepted conference presentation on your CV to document the achievement, even though the presentation was canceled. You 可能 consult with your advisor as 这是最好的方法.

Also, if planned travel is cancelled due to this health crisis, please work with your department administrator to help with securing refunds or potentially receiving reimbursements 对于未退还的费用.

教学助理(助教)

TAs are a critical part of the team managing the challenge of moving courses to an 联机或分布式格式. 你得到了支持. 助教总是受欢迎的使用的资源教师发展中心 (CFD). CFD有很好的指导远程教学选项并且有一个工作人员随时准备提供帮助.

事件

因为来自 Santa Clara County Department of Public Health 和州长纽森, all large events (>250 people) scheduled for the next three weeks are cancelled. Smaller events may take place if provisions for social distancing are possible. 决定 about campus events are being made continuously, so it is best to check the event web site or with the organizer for the latest information.

Anxiety 和 fear about health emergencies can take a toll on our well-being. 如果你 are feeling overwhelmed, please know that there are people on campus that care 和想帮忙吗?. 我们的人 Counseling 和 Psychological Services unit can be reached at 408-924-5910 和咨询.services@glass-ink.com.
