 Dear students and staff, the corona crisis keeps us all busy, frightens many of us and hits hard on some others. Several of you have been suffering from flu-like symptoms and some from confirmed corona flu. I suppose many of you know people who have become seriously ill. I hope they have already recovered and otherwise will recover soon. I also hope that this crisis will be over quickly, but for now only the future can tell. I wish everyone lots of strength and wisdom coping with this awkward situation. Now I'd like to say a few words to all of you. I'm doing this from my workstation in the attic at home. That's why you don't see a perfect screen. It's incredible how everybody at Tilburg University immediately seemed to sense the urgency of the new situation. Hundreds of people are working long days while many are simultaneously taking care of their children as well. They keep the university running, but also help transforming it into something unprecedented. We're transforming Tilburg University from a real-life physical education institute into an online education facility. And we're doing this in just a very short time period. This is nothing less than revolutionary. To our students I want to say the following. We're working hard to organize all courses online. Quality of education of course has the highest priority. Online teaching will continue for the rest of this academic year. We're also developing online high-quality examination. This is difficult. To this end, different universities exchange ideas and best practices. In addition, I have advice to you. And it is simply the following and it won't come as a surprise. Study hard. Decipher the course's books, articles and slides from cover to cover. This way you'll become the experts that your diplomas promise society. We've given you more leeway with respect to the BSA. We'll help you the best we can, as always. Now some words to our junior staff. We're collecting information from your PhD and postdoc research. Which obstacles threaten to damage your work? Many problems probably concern data collection. We'll come up with solutions and advice. But we also encourage you to find your own solutions. To be in charge of your own fate as much as possible. Please do this together with your supervisors. Be flexible and creative. And if necessary, leave a plan, trajectory and choose a new one. Please inform your graduate schools about the problems you encounter. To the senior staff, I want to say the following. Our students are counting on you more than ever. You'll have to spend lots of time to developing online teaching and examination. If necessary, put your research on hold for a while until better times return. Education is our primary concern. Our students depend on us. To everybody I want to say three things. First, let's be careful out there. Look after yourself well. Don't run unnecessary health risks. Second, borrowing from our prime minister. Let's look after one another. Call each other on the phone and through the internet and do this daily. Don't become a recluse. Third, the pandemic is not out there forever. It will go away. It will die out. Unfortunately, society and we will have to pay a price. However, be optimistic. Look at the future. I think when we look back later and can't forget about today's misery, we'll see that we've learned a lot as individuals and as an academic organization. This is key to what we do and have always been doing. We're always learning and improving ourselves. Keep yourself informed through Tilburg University's website, also for suggestions regarding staying mentally and physically in shape. Don't hesitate to ask questions or ask for help or advice. Finally, I wish everybody all the best. Keep me informed about you. See you next time and have a good day.
