Dear Purdue Engineering Community,
We have been getting ready for Fall semester since May, and now it’s almost here. We had hoped that the uncertainties would fade and clarity would emerge, but that certainly has not happened. In fact, most of us have never faced so many uncertainties at the same time – the pressures of getting kids back to daycare or to school safely, or having kids stay at home, worrying about elderly parents, or family members at risk, and about our own health too...
