Dear Members of the Barnard Community,
All classes at Barnard and Columbia will take place via zoom today, Monday April 22, 2024. President Shafik announced this plan to go remote early this morning for the Columbia campus, and we write to confirm that Barnard classes will also be remote.
Professors will provide students with zoom links or other information about classes and other academic events scheduled for today. We are working with staff to move non-academic events online or to postpone as appropriate.
All offices of the College will remain open, but some services will be provided only on a remote basis. Dining halls, residence halls, the Barnard library, and health services (Furman Counseling and Primary Care Health Services) will operate as usual, providing services in person. Facilities and CARES (emergency and non-emergency) will also remain available to assist those on campus. Senior staff and supervisors will communicate with employees about staffing and remote work in their areas.
Please refer to last night’s email that Senior Vice President Sarah Gillman sent regarding enhanced campus safety measures in place at this time.
We will provide other updates later today. Thank you for your flexibility.
Kelli Murray
EVP for Strategy and Chief Administrative Officer
