StudentsIt has impacted me
-as well as my family- I was trying to
I have no wifi in my house
I know I missed
I doubt whatever
I missed anyway I can

Can I?

I’m trying to do my best

I-Poem
Faculty I expect to have loads of time (!)
I am writing to set up what I hope will be the first of regular meetings
I wanted to send your graded exams
I will ask IT
I’m tied up the next two evenings.
I’m reaching my limit.
I’m overcommitted this semester.
I am writing to notify you all that today’s live class has been cancelled
due to the loss of a family member.
Thank you all for your cooperation during this process.
I hope you and yours
are well and healthy
I am writing to follow up on our conversation
regarding my grandfather’s passing.
On behalf of my family,
I would just like to say
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Sorry for the radio silence
I have been keeping track of your emails and exchanges with my peers.
I’m aware this is a long overdue email;
I apologize for the long hold up.
Thank you so much for your patience...
I will try my best
I wanted to
welcome everyone
back to another
unusual semester.
I hope you've taken time
I believe you have grown
I am reading a really fascinating new book.
Sorry that there are
no snow days in this
version of reality!
I would like to go over a few points I made in class today.
I’m aware that some of you have experienced issues -
The exam is now available through google classroom.
I noticed most of your answers were “no” and this does not help me –
Just writing to remind you
I’d like to have the raw data collected.
I thought we could all use the reminder.
I will not compromise
I need to fulfil my professional obligation.
I still have not received
I can't accommodate
I strongly suggest
I have full sympathy
I hope you all are well and are ready
for the spring semester (2 more days, *😩*)
We're counting down to the beginning of
the Spring semester
Hang in there and stay safe!
I am writing to let you know
about a series of workshops... I hope you
have had a restful holiday.
I have realized
I have witnessed hundreds of students
I have a better memory of your voices than your faces

I am writing to you today to follow up on the announcement from Governor Cuomo
I want to express my thanks and appreciation for all of your service during this crisis
I truly hope that you or your family are recovering
If you have lost someone to this virus, please accept my deepest condolences
I have received many reports from students having medical issues
I write to share with you some important and saddening news about Interim Provost and Senior Vice President Julia Wrigley
I ask any faculty to consult with their Training Area Head,
I am missing some other issues
I again thank you all for your dedication!

We plan to be highly flexible in working with faculty members
We will accommodate students’ accessibility needs.
We understand that some staff members may need to avoid traveling to work at peak rush hour times
We can communicate with all faculty, students, and staff at this time
We have been hearing that some of you that do not have experience with distance learning
We know that there are a lot of questions and unfortunately, “we do not know” is our too frequent refrain
We will let you know when
We understand that there is uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 situation
We are open, and other activities, such as dissertation defense
As our campus remains open

I wrote to you on May 29
I said that I would follow up
I share with you our equity
I expect that by now you have heard
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised
I wanted to let you know

We articulate our commitment to racial justice
We recognize how privileged we are
We can to ensure that members of our diverse community
We reinforce our commitment to equity and inclusion
we must do all that we can to ensure that our own institution serves
We are reading daily about the Trump administration,
We will quickly implement a plan
We pledge to confront the ways that our own institution perpetuates white privilege and racism
We will infuse a greater awareness of injustice
We will convene safe spaces for dialogue
We know that many of you will already have heard
We understand the distress and anxiety
We value the scholarship and perspectives
We still do not know enough to give definitive answers
We And I
I know the last four months
I wish I could know what the future will bring
I can’t,
We are preparing for a range of scenarios
We hope to increase
I want to acknowledge
We seek to physically reopen
We will leave no stone unturned
We are extending a degree
We want to avoid these kinds of interruptions.
We invite you to leave sympathy messages
We will further commemorate their lives
I look forward to that day
We will all be able to meet and reflect on
We have overcome and the goals
we have accomplished together during this period of adjustment.
I will be in touch with additional details
We are on a very tight timeframe
I write today to inform you of our plans
I wish, like many of you, that we could bring students and faculty together in person
We appreciated the thoughtful discussions.
We want to take this opportunity
We also thank everyone
We will have the opportunity.
