TOP STORY |
Fall Onboarding Process
Emory University has established a comprehensive clearance process for faculty/staff who plan to be on the Atlanta and Oxford campuses this fall. Before coming to campus, you must first complete a five-step onboarding clearance process. You should complete the onboarding tasks if you anticipate that you will be on campus at any time this fall. This includes anyone who would come to campus occasionally. It is recommended that everyone go ahead and complete the process now so that you understand the requirements and have the clearance in the event you need to go to campus. Having the clearance, however, does not mean you are approved to work on campus on a regular basis. Your unit will notify you when you can do this. Learn more. |

Preparing to Work and Parent Through a COVID Kind of School Year – Part Two
There are a lot of uncertainties for everyone as we prepare for the 2020-21 school year. As a parent, it is especially difficult to know how to plan for this year. While we all want to see children return to in-person classrooms, we know that the reality is that many students will at least begin their school year virtually. Parents really need to do what they can to plan for all scenarios: In-person, Remote Learning, and a Hybrid of both plans. We are likely to see one or all these scenarios play out throughout this school year. The saying, “It takes a village to raise a child” is especially true right now. We have compiled some tips to help parents prepare for these different scenarios and help them manage remote work and school under one roof once again. This is part 2 of a 3-part series. Read Part 2. |
