 Hello everyone. Well, thank you all for joining us. It's just such a huge blessing to be able to even gather here. We have a few students actually sitting here in the audience participating, which is a huge blessing to be able to even physically gather. So I just wanted to kick us off and first of all say thank you all for coming both in the live stream and in person. I just want to reiterate that I am so thankful and I know the student body is so thankful to be here and present on campus each and every single day. As a community gathered together so I also wanted to express the students thankfulness for this challenging and different year, even though each day looks a little bit more different than the last. We are just so incredibly blessed to be on campus experiencing a new year of unparalleled and undeniable growth so we are extraordinarily thankful for that as well. So I just wanted to offer one piece of encouragement real quick to both those watching and to those here in the audience today that although this is a difficult and challenging year. We are not given a spirit of fear but rather a spirit of self control and love so every day when we're a little bit cared of what the day may hold or what COVID regulations may change or what guidelines we see here on campus. We can be encouraged by the fact that we have a spirit of love and self control that's been given to us by the power of Christ and so we can approach each day fearlessly and invest in our classes and our communities and our clubs and our organizations. Because one thing that I've been noticing is that students are afraid to dig in here on campus and I want to really reiterate that this is our community and you can approach each day fearlessly that we are going to be here for quite a while so that's awesome. I also wanted to read over the encouragement of Philippians one six that the Lord will bring every good work to completion and so even though things look different this year. This is a part of his will and his plan for your life and this exact moment. So exactly what's going on today tomorrow this year as challenging and different as it look. It is a part of God's plan for your life so we are just so excited to be here and hear from administration with some updates. And we're just really excited to hear about how campus is doing and you're more from Jim about what's going on so thank you. Well hi folks. It is great to be here. I'm joined by Dr. Black our Vice President of Academic Affairs over in her office and what a great two weeks it's been. We are just thrilled to be back on campus and two weeks have gone by and things are are percolating along very nicely so Dr. Black will help me answer some questions here at the end that I'm sure some of you have. But let me start with just a few comments before we go. And if you're wondering we do have an audience but if we have 12 feet I can be without a mask and that's what I'm doing tonight. But I just want to thank the student body for their adherence to the protocols so far. We've had a good start on requirements and restrictions and protocols and that's just due to the student body trying to make this thing work. You know we are all anxious to be back excited to be back but but this has got to work for us to be able to be back some of you might have seen the Colorado College article where they got shut down last week because of a group of cases. And they're not going to be back. They're sending everybody home by September 20. So we're trying to be in that vein. We're confident in our protocols and if the student body will follow them we're confident that we can make it through the year and not have to slow this thing down at all. Thank you for doing that. We can especially outside right now because of the outside mask order we could do a little better there. I'm watching classes change every day and most of our students are in mass if they're not six feet. But I'd ask you to continue to think about if I'm not six feet wearing your mask outside. That's not a state order by the way that is a Jefferson County order that supersedes the state. So some of you have said hey I didn't see that on the state website it's not the outside mask order. Excuse me is actually from the Jefferson County Public Health Department which is our overseer in this case so so I've noticed a lot of you playing spike ball without mask. I'd ask that if you can't maintain six feet which is really hard to do in spike ball once you get down to the last little minute there. Please wear your mask going forward. We've had almost no cases of folks not responding students not responding to staff who have asked them to respond to a requirement or restriction. Thank you for that. We're not loving this situation where we're having to remind you of restrictions and requirements and that kind of thing. So I just really ask you that if someone confronts you about that and ask you to do something that you'd be very responsive to that and honoring of that person who's doing that. Some have asked me well if if someone refuses to comply what might happen. And we do have it in the code of conduct for the university that failure to comply is is in there for a request of a university official. And that situation you would enter the discipline process and and we would we would go about it in that direction we haven't had to do that yet. I just noticed that Northeastern University today dismissed 11 students with no tuition refund because of failure to comply for social distancing. So other universities are cracking down on this. We haven't had to crack down because of the compliance of our student body so thank you for for doing that. So if you're asked, you know by someone to comply please please do your best to do that. Several have asked me how enrollments looking this year we were actually going to complete our 11th straight year of record enrollment, not by much this year, but we were still there 1419 students on campus this year. Our third largest incoming class that 462 with 384 freshmen our third largest freshman class and 78 transfers who joined us this fall. So the Lord has been good and enrollment kept enrollment up. What we're hearing from most Christian colleges across the nation is they are down between five and 15%. And we actually budgeted on a 5% decrease, just wondering what COVID would do to us. But the Lord's been good and brought all you guys back and we're thrilled about that something that we're just really praising the Lord about is is enrollment right now, and what he's given us. Many of you are wondering about current cases on campus that we have no current cases at the university at this point. We've only had one positive case since August 19 and that's the day I took responsibility we took responsibility for you guys on campus. The 19th was our opening. We've only had one positive case. Since then that was an off campus case. We currently have two students off campus in isolation due to symptoms and one quarantined on campus, due to a family member who had COVID. So our numbers just couldn't look any better. Just again, hoping that's due to a lot of prayer and the favor of God at this point to keep this virus at bay from from our community. So many of you have seen a lot in the press about, you know, lots of cases here and there Notre Dame a week or so ago had 600 cases on campus. We have been spared a lot of that and I think most of it is because you guys are adhering and being smart to what we've asked you to be smart to around campus. And obviously the big thing that I've seen on college campuses that have had, you know, kind of rampant cases has been the party scene and large gatherings of students not being real smart about what's going on. It, this, this virus in a group gathering can spread very quickly. If you're not smart and we've seen that in many, many situations around North Carolina had 580 cases I think right off the bat, and they had to shut down send everybody home. So, we're just thrilled that we're two weeks in our numbers look great. And we're just really praising the Lord for that. We continue to ask you though, to do a few things. And, and that's obviously to wear masks, you know what we're hearing is that master's prevent the spread in a lot of ways. So, inside for sure, you know, when you're close to folks outside when you can't have six feet of distance. I'd ask even in your apartments, if you have people, you know, coming down from other parts of the residence hall you don't know or whatever, you know, I'd ask you to just be smart on that. You'll notice that our faculty and staff are wearing masks as well in every situation, except for situations like this one where the requirements allow us to be without a mask. So, join them in that. I'd ask that you watch your group settings that obviously with your roommates we're treating those as family units that that that group is okay. But anytime you're together with a large group, you know, please be six feet apart or wear your mask. Let's just be smart there and continue to keep this at bay. Continue to talk to your roommates, please about what they're comfortable with. We're counting on that and you should have, you should have had that conversation. At the beginning where we asked you to sign a little roommate agreement between roommates about, are you comfortable with people coming over you come for them not having masks. If your brother's coming to see you. And I'll talk about that in a minute please, please talk to your roommates about that before you do that. We would not look kindly on a roommate going against their other roommates wishes. I feel like that is the basic honoring that you can do right now is that if someone around you wishes something that may seem over the top to you doesn't matter. We're really trying to serve each other in this situation. So please try to try to do that. Be diligent about your outside exposure. As well outside, obviously is a is a good place to be because of the ventilation, but just watch your groups, watch your distancing there. Watch your large group gatherings, you find yourself in a group over 10, especially that you're smart about there. And you guys just must do the surveys twice a week those those surveys are what we're living by right now. Those surveys tell us what's going on those surveys put in a whole host of protocols that we have in place. And if you don't do the survey we can't do the protocols in place. Now we have this list down of people not doing the surveys to a very small group. We just need you to be diligent on those surveys twice a week. And you absolutely be asked not to be on campus if you're not going to do the surveys so please make those a priority they take very quick timing. And especially right now after Labor Day, we need you to be diligent on your surveys. I'd ask you to think about gathering for chapel in small groups getting together with your roommates, getting together with with your friends. Pretty good group in the amphitheater every day for chapel. The great room this room is open for you for chapel. Anybody any one of your professors would be glad to pop chapel on on their way out after, you know, the 925 class. So, if you ask them hey can you just put on chapel I'm here and then just stay right there in the classroom, and with a few of your friends and watch chapel. That's one thing that I'm really missing this year for 25 years at 1030 I've gotten up out of my desk and walked over to chapel. This year I've had to remind myself oh yeah I've got to bring up the zoom to even see it. So I think some of you are probably in that in that boat, gather for chapel and small groups with your with your roommates classmates, or whatever. And then I just ask you to continue to take control of your spiritual activities on campus. Getting together for Bible studies getting together for prayer groups, getting together for for fellowship and encouragement. As always, that you not let COVID stymie that at all that being smart and under the guidelines that you continue to to get together and gather. That's why many of you wanted to be back because you missed that don't let, don't let COVID stymie that at all. Do that as you can with adhering to guidelines that we've put forward, but I'd really encourage you to continue that. And I'd ask that you continue to bubble up issues to your nearest staff members. Policy issues, procedure issues, Dr. Black is here tonight. If you have zoom issues or whatever, we really want you to bubble those up and to keep those coming. Wi-Fi issues, whatever we want to hear those we want to get to them quickly. Because one of the reasons to make this work is we've got to figure all this out together. We don't know how to help unless we know where to help. So we just ask that you send it folks are here tonight. I'm your RA, whoever, whoever that you you have around you please bubble up issues. I know many of you are very interested in in residence hall visitation. That's a policy that really I take all full ownership of I put that into place from the very beginning. If you have friends at other schools, you're probably hearing from them that they have the same restrictions. It's something that that we put into place. As many of you know, for the first two weeks, especially to kind of get settled and in the figure out where we're at and in all of that. So we're ready to look at that policy going forward. And I think that the smart thing to do right now is to wait for this Labor Day to get behind us a few days. You know, many of the of the media as you know many college presidents were lamenting Labor Day, because we knew, you know, students were going off campus I had probably 50 travel requests last week, because all you guys were going to weddings and I had parents and all that. And so I think the smart thing to do is to wait for that Labor Day spike or lack thereof to show itself or lack thereof through the Thursday survey. We'll see how that looks, and then make a decision, you know, late this week, once this kind of Labor Day is behind us. As you know, the common sense common sense out there about COVID as it shows itself between two and four days after exposure. So that gives us this week to kind of play with that. And then we'll see. I am anxious to lift this restriction I know you guys are anxious to have it lifted. One question is about tomorrow night's discipleship groups because of the weather I know you've been meeting outside. And so, Heidi Ross and I will be talking in the morning about that and giving the group leaders their way to go on that one. But I think that that's the smart thing to do. And if things look good. And if things look good here in about a week, then I think that's a restriction that that we can lift going forward. Commuters and off campus students can visit the lobbies of Rotman and yetter, you can, you can access the food rooms there anybody can access the food rooms there in the lobby, but I'd ask that you would continue to keep it in the lobby. And for those of you who have found your way up the back stairs to some of our residence halls. I just asked that, especially this week, you not do that that you would really just stay away. Stay out of each other's residence halls, and know that the time is short here, but let's get this Labor Day, kind of behind us. And finally, commuters. I know that this this policy is especially hard on you because you like to go hang out in your friends rooms between classes. And after the class day is done and it's two o'clock or whatever you'd like to grab some time over in the residence halls with your friends. And so my heart goes out to you on that. And remember that the amphitheater is always open for you the great room. If there's not class in here is open for you the Leprino obviously lobby the Cougar Den library these are areas that we encourage you to hang out and invite your friends to to hang out there. But commuters if you can hang with us just a little bit. Then we'll, we'll talk about what this means for you kind of going forward here after a week. I guess some of the updates that that I wanted to give I'll tell our 60 participants on online here to use the Q&A feature on your zoom or the chat feature either one that you might be familiar with to ask questions and to start those questions coming at this point. I know I have some senators with some questions here in the audience as well that we'll get to. I'm going to kind of just exhort us all from Romans 12 10. I love this verse for what's going on right now in our lives and it says this be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love in honor of giving preference to one another, not lagging with diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality and I think that this is exactly what we're asking you to do. Think of others in this situation. Think of your roommates think of your professors think of the staff people you're working with. That's why you're doing these things yes to protect yourself but also to protect the others in your community. And I'd ask that you be diligent in given to hospitality of your roommates whose wishes may not be yours on this issue. And really just that all of us have a varying degree of opinion on on COVID. And how bad it is and how crisis it is or not. I'd ask that you would just not worry about that too much and worry about serving each other and serving your community. At this point, by continuing to adhere to the to the restrictions and requests that we have. So again, thank you for being back. It's been a great two weeks. We're kicked off and running couldn't be more thrilled about enrollment and our covert numbers and what the Lord has done thus far. So we're looking forward to just clicking these weeks behind us and getting on with your lives and hopefully things will will start to morph in terms of COVID restrictions and we can be back to normal here fairly soon. So again, I'm asking you at this period of question and answers to take a look at that Q&A and chat button. And we will start that and then here in a minute. I'll ask some of the senators the senators your ready and pop up here and be ready. I'm just going to ask you to come in front of the deal here and do it so everybody can hear and this is being recorded as well. So we want you on here. So from Kathy, what is being done to fix the Wi-Fi in classrooms and in the dorm room so classes online can be effective and do not lag or drop the meeting. We, we've been talking about that every day just talked about it again today in our committee that is our COVID response committee. What we're asking students to do is to give us exact places and times they were on so that we can look at that specific area. Telling us the Wi-Fi doesn't work in a residence all doesn't help us much. We need to. We need to know that in room 145 at my two o'clock class I couldn't get on or it kept dropping off that kind of thing so we can send a team up there and take a look at that. So that's how we're doing it is kind of case by case just what we're hearing and really asking people to be more specific about what's happening where and to bubble that up to us so that we can get on that. Dr. Black and I both have a commitment to make sure that our zoom access is working well and we've put a lot of time and energy into it we want that thing to work great. So we just need to know a specific situation that it's not working so that we can get to it or it folks can get to it. I could add to that I could say also that we we encourage students who are on campus and zoom isn't seem to work for them as well. Remember, sometimes it's not the Wi-Fi we've had a couple of instances already that we were troubleshooting and for one student who's knocked off over and over again. She had a camera on her own personal computer that wasn't working and it was the tech people who found that that it wasn't the Wi-Fi for her and for others just using Ethernet cable has really solved their issue and there is Ethernet in your residence hall. So go ahead and use an Ethernet cable hook right in don't count on Wi-Fi and that's also a solution. It's not to say that we're not going to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi it just means that there are other solutions that are get around for you. And we have put put some Ethernet cables at the front desk of Rockmont and Yetter so you can pop down there and grab an Ethernet cable if you don't have one. From Debbie, did you say that Jeffco has outdoor mask restrictions so if a student goes to the store they are to wear a mask in the parking lot etc. The Jeffco outdoor mask restriction is a mask anywhere that six feet can't be can't be achieved. So if you drive to the store and get out in the parking lot you do not have to wear a mask. Unless obviously you get out into a crowd of people that you can't keep six feet distance in. And then once you get to the store put your mask on to go into the store. So it's an either it's a if you can keep six feet you don't have to have a mask. When you can't you're supposed to have a mask that is the Jeffco restriction and that's our signs on campus it's either six feet or mass outdoors. That's what we're trying to adhere to. From an anonymous person. Why can't we sit inside and social distance of people speaking are allowed to why can't we be 12 feet away from each other working on homework and the Prino or in class. Ultimately, you could be. But the state has put in a inside mask restriction. So the 12 feet is for speakers 25 feet for singers. But if you are inside, you have to be with a mask. So you can't be inside and distance right now, according to the governor. And if you are in a classroom setting and 12 feet away, you can remove your mask on speak but we are doing as you know, in classes. All our professors are either masked or shielded up for your safety. Either way there so our pretty much our working protocol is that everybody's in a mask at this point. Okay, senators anyone have a question they want to come up with. I was told there was question. Yeah, the question is, are we expecting or do we expect throughout the course of the semester to maybe see an update in off campus speakers being able to come on campus either for club events or for panels or so on so they can be in person rather than numbers. Thank you Jordan. Yes, Dr black is already working on her visiting professor list and, and they are allowed in the classroom and professors are having their guest lecturers come in under a protocol. We do have some chapel folks coming in to be live. And we do will allow to a small group we can have 100 in there will allow that group to come right now. Most of our special speakers that are that are playing are going to be on zoom, just for the large group of it. If that's a word groupness. So we are doing little things here and there we do have an outside visitor restriction right now so no outside groups that kind of thing. But we're handling those case by case and outside visitors, professors in the classroom are approved and Dr black is working on them and, and things are starting to percolate there. And we do have some chapel speakers that are coming as well so really right now that whole thing is really based on the size of the crowd we can have we can only have 100. So, to us to have a big speaker, you know, you wouldn't have that just for a crowd of 100. So you might as well go ahead and zoom it. And, as you guys know, we have access to more chapel speakers because of zoom right now, because they don't want to travel. So we've only had a couple who said I want to be on site. Many have said I won't come unless I can do zoom. It's not always our idea either sometimes it's the speaker who says love to come speak but I'm not going to travel. And so we'll do them by by zoom. So, okay, I, that's more of a comment and a question thank you very much for that for that comment. There has been any discussion of the scenario where students would go home at Thanksgiving stay home and finish the semester online then return after the new year. Yes, exactly Julia. We are many schools adjusted their schedule so they'd be done by Thanksgiving. We felt it was too late in the summer to do anything like that with almost 60% of our students out of state. We're doing that late in the summer. That's anyone because of travel plan. So we're, we're going to go right through the semester as planned. But we do have a scenario with the excellent job that our academic side has done with the zoom scenario, where that if you go home for Thanksgiving and want to stay home and finish the semester. Online. You can do that via a simple request. So we're going to have a protocol for students coming back after Thanksgiving just like the baseline protocol we did when they showed up here in August. So we'll go through our safety steps there. But if you want to request to just remain home and finish the semester online. So the request for staying home after Thanksgiving will be the same for any other kind of semi permanent kind of request for zooming into classes so all of our classes are zoom friendly. And that doesn't mean it's perfect yet there are some still hiccups that we're working on especially hearing class discussion. We're working on right now but other than then things that we're working on to make sure that the zooming students have a good experience. We are ready for students who choose not to come back after Thanksgiving to be able to finish the semester without being in person so not a problem you do have to formally requested it's not automatic. So if you want to contact your professors. You know give you any feedback about that you can always contact me I am available to you I want to answer your questions I want you to come to me with some of your academic issues I'm happy to help. So, yeah, make your Thanksgiving plans. Think of your, your health, please. Think of your family's health, please. Think of the way that you involve yourself in the community and how important that is to you, please, we want to be open for your, your, your presence here, but if you cannot that's okay to understand. A quick question I had was whether or not there will be an adjustment made for ministry our requirements, given that it's harder to find opportunities off campus and there's more need for on campus work like. That can be adjusted at all or the ratios. Thank you, Mr. Jansen. Well, what we're kind of doing right now is is I'm saying, let's let's just keep that the way it is. And then just kind of see how that plays out. So just like we did last spring we kind of kept it the way it was and then we gave people chapel credit, you know last spring and, and did it that way. I don't want to be hardcore on that at all. And I'm just saying, alright, let's just kind of see how that goes continue to try to do your ministry as, as you had planned to do it. And if we hear from students toward the end of the semester that you know just wasn't a semester we could find many ministry opportunities, then we're glad to adjust it. So, not worried about that at all. You guys shouldn't worry about it at all, move along in your plans. Students don't come to fruition and we're hearing from a lot of students and we'll adjust it toward the end of the semester. Before we get into the spring. I need to follow up on one part of a question that wasn't answered for the Thanksgiving people who want to request remote learning after Thanksgiving. The final part of that question said do we have to request it from each professor or can we just request it from one. Remember that everything is centralized there's one form, and then the form actually feeds to all of the deans and the professors that it feeds through your account so we already know what classes you're registered for, and that goes to the professors that goes through the Whatever I will say that professionally it's very nice for you it would be very nice for you to talk to your professors and say, this is my plan I'm going to fill that format I plan to zoom in or be synchronous remote and a different format of your professors doing a different format after Thanksgiving let them be aware of it so that you just don't show up as a name on a, on an announcement to them. And a daily announcement and just having your name there might startle them. So go ahead and talk to them be professional about it, treat this whole situation with your professors as you would any other kind of absence where you are in constant communication, and that you show them how much you really want to do well and they can show you how much they care. Okay, I say to our zoom audience I'm looking for any more questions here, not going to prolong this any longer than we need to. My audience is out of questions it looks like Madam President. So, I don't see any more there. We are being showered with blessings today we've got about an inch of blessing on the ground so far. And I'm watching what has to be Arizona and Texas students and loving the snow right now as they come to eat in the dining hall. So, many of you might say it's already snowing and Denver winter is already there. We get this all the time. Every now and then we'll be right back into the 70s and 80s later this week. This is just an early reminder that we do live at altitude. And sometimes the Lord says, hey, you guys are at altitude I'm going to give you some snow so it's a beautiful evening here. At 25 till seven, the snow is likely coming down and and the students are playing in the snow right now. Are there from Hannah, are there any thoughts about whether we will return to campus in the spring, or is that too far out to determine. Well, I hope that that we are often running for the entire year here we're sure planning on it. Dr black in the academic side is planning on the year, the student life side is planning on the year the president, everybody is just planning on this year unfolding. As it would in terms of that, all things being equal. So, we're not very concerned right now about whether we're going to be closed or open. We are plowing through as if we're going to be open. And as I watched the numbers in Colorado and as you guys watch the numbers even nationwide, they're in an encouraging direction. Colorado especially isn't an encouraging direction. Our numbers are very encouraging I don't know how they could be any more encouraging here on campus, and the campuses that have been in trouble have these huge outbreaks. So, I feel like if we get through Labor Day here, and then get through Thanksgiving, without big outbreaks for us that will go right into spring semester and be good. Although, obviously, we didn't think we'd be here in March, and with all these restrictions and everything so, so we can't foretell the future on that one. The only thing we can do diligently is what we've done for the last six months is to continue to put our protocols in place that we feel comfortable with to keep our students safe. And to keep them healthy and to keep them moving in the right direction, and then to turn it over to the one who knows all plans and say Lord it's up to you. And we're doing our diligence, taking your lead, but Lord it's up to you on on how this all comes together and how it all plans out. So, our best response to this in my opinion I ask everybody online here with us is just to continue to pray to the Lord that he keeps the virus at bay at CCU that he keeps Colorado going in the right direction, and that we're able to continue to do what we want to through impacting students and their experience in college for him. So, that's, that's all I can say about that is we don't know the plans. Lord does and we're relying on him every day to take us down the road. There's a question that came in that Jim will read, but I want to just talk about some questions that I've gotten personally from some students on campus one student, especially was concerned with our message that we have 97% of our classes in seat and yet that student was asked to zoom in even though that students present and desire to be in seat. And it was asked to zoom in a few times this semester. So, one of the things that we did and I'll give you the background on this. You'll remember that those of you who are not new students those of your returning students, you enrolled in March you enrolled in all your classes, and we had a decision to make over the summer. We disenroll everybody completely wipe this late clean, and then refit our classes into a social distancing protocol, and then have everyone reenroll. That was one way to do it. Another way to do it was to allow the classes that were already enrolled to go. And as they go, move them into rooms big enough for social distancing that's why we have the Amchutes great hall is one of our rooms the Amchutes great room or game room is one of our rooms, give us bigger room so that we can spread some of those up cascade up have a few of the middle size classes go into the larger room so larger classes go into the bigger non traditional classrooms, we chose that second scenario. But it also meant that we had so many classes in that 2025 range that small to mid size range because we're a small college we we really value this contact and this intimacy that we have with our students. So many of them that we had to do with the airlines do is we overbooked we overbooked 123 students in order to put people together and keep the keep the enrollment and the times that you chose and the days of the week you chose and whether you're in a morning person you wanted the eight o'clock or whether you want to sleep in domain and one of the 305s, we let your enrollment stand. And then we tried to do those classes and so therefore there's overbooking so I'm what I'm coming down to say is that our message has been 97% of our classes are in seat. And we do have some rolling zoom students and maybe up to three times a semester maybe even four times a semester if you're in a class that was really pinched. Will we ask individuals to zoom but then the other 26 times in the semester or 28 times in the semester, you can be in seat. So I wanted to explain that and make it very clear that our message was not meant to blindside you, but to show that we totally wanted to honor students who had pre enrolled in March, and we did not want to wipe their slates clean, and then we wanted to re enroll classes that would start perhaps at 7am and go till 7pm. We just decided to keep the days and the time similar, and just put our classrooms in an expanded form in order for those things to fit. So I need to make that clear. Go ahead Jim. Yeah, thank you Dr black that's great. I'm going to put it out. I have two more here. The student goes out of state to come home for Thanksgiving. Will they be required to quarantine upon the return. No, they won't be as, as you know, I think everybody in the nation now has dropped that interstate quarantine period. The CDC has dropped that as well. So we would follow that guideline and not make people quarantine. If you were from out of state. And August when you came to campus we didn't make you quarantine either we made some of you do daily temperature checks for the first two weeks you're probably just getting out of that now. And that's, we will do a baseline check on everybody coming back from Thanksgiving, just like we did when we open, and then we will rely on that survey to let us know what's going on and that's why that survey is so important. We want to know in that survey what's going on with you, that our protocols can kick right into gear. And so we will do that on the way back. I don't know if you see this question about the one act festival, but Dr black may be better to answer that we are right now restricting visitors to campus, except for a case by case basis, and obviously immediate family members for students living on the residence halls. But you may have a comment. The one act festival, those of you who don't know and haven't seen the advertisement yet it's going to be very exciting. It's outdoors. It's outdoors and it's going to be a theater crawl and these art crawls have been very popular in the last five or 10 years all over the country, where you go to one small venue, and you get an artistic experience and then you move on to another small venue for an artistic experience. And the one act festival is being provided in this way where we have for one act plays that are written by students produced by students directed by students and also acted by students. It will be outdoors and for that reason that the answer to the question that the student asked about whether kind of visitor come on campus and attend one of these one act plays or several of them come to the whole festival. The answer is yes. We do not restrict people from coming across campus you'll see neighbors from Westford walking their dogs across campus. They're outdoors they're not allowed in the buildings they're not allowed in your classroom we have protocol for that. We have a certain protocol for the library for public patrons the very few public patrons who come to the library from off campus. For indoor kinds of groups. If we had an indoor group that we were somehow hosting, we would be restricting that right now on a case by case basis we do evaluate every request. But this is an outdoor festival and yes, we will have some restrictions in place for the number of people in pods outdoors so that people are not sitting together they'll be distanced outdoors. But there will be availability for some outside people, some guests that you invite to come to the one act festivals. In fact, we welcome them. We celebrate the arts and we've got a robust program for you this year. Well seeing no more questions on the list here. I want to thank President Courtney, President student body on having us here tonight. And this will be posted on YouTube. So if you know someone who had one of these questions or excuses me wants to know a little bit about what's going on during this time you can direct them to the CCU YouTube page. Over there and and you can see it there. Dr black any last words. I do want to thank the students for your patience for the first few weeks as we have a lot of technology and as some of our folk joke, the technology is sometimes so complex that the PhDs can't can't figure it out. But for the most part, I think a lot of the bugs are worked out. We really, really, really appreciate being able to serve you as our instructors. I told this little scenario to the future implementation team. And I think today the COVID response team that there is a faculty member on campus who was talking about masks and what it's like to teach in a mask or shield. And the faculty member said this, I would wear a beekeeper suit. If I got a chance to work with these students, the faculty here at CCU just love you, they want to be with you. They're beekeeper suits if they need to just to be with you and to teach you and we really are committed to your education we're committed to furthering your walk with Jesus Christ furthering your academics or critical thinking. We want to be there for you. So my last word to you is thank you for your patience. Please contact me if you're having issues that I can help with I really, really, really want to help you. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Let's ask the Lord to be with us. Lord, we just give this all to you. We know that you have a plan for it. We know that you have a direction for it. And you know that in all things you want to be glorified. So Lord, we just asked that you be glorified somehow through this that we are able to to display your splendor through this as a campus as a student body as a roommate as a friend as a student. Lord, we want to display your splendor. So Lord, we just thank you for the two weeks that you've given us. We just ask that you would keep this virus at bay from our community, and Lord that you would protect us. You would give us direction, or to be with our state, our national leadership during this time in our country. Lord, we just thank you for the blessings that you give us every day, including about the inch of blessings you've given us in the last couple hours. Lord, we just give you all that glory power and honor you deserve in Jesus name. Amen. Thanks for being with us everybody.
