We're hopeful that the worst of the omicron surge is behind us but have plans in place should we see high numbers of students, staff and faculty unable to come to campus for COVID-19 related reasons. In preparation for resuming in-person instruction on a wider scale, we'd like to share a few reminders: We recognize that some of you are nervous about coming back to campus. Others of you are frustrated that you're not already in the classroom. This pandemic has presented a series of impossible challenges with often unsatisfying answers.  We continue to let science and public health expertise guide our decision-making. We ask that you continue to extend grace to one another as we navigate these next few weeks together and hope that you can join us in finding excitement in being back together again.  This press release was produced by UC Berkeley News.
