#repost • @vu_chancellor A message from @VU_Chancellor Wente on social distancing:

Day-to-day life at Vanderbilt looks significantly different today than it did last Monday. In the past seven days, we have made multiple complex decisions to further respond to the global coronavirus outbreak.

I acknowledge that these are extraordinary preventive actions and assure you that each was guided by the advice of public health officials with the goal of doing our utmost to protect our community. I’m grateful to all of you who have responded calmly and rapidly to the tremendous amount of change we are experiencing and will likely continue to experience. Many of the steps we have undertaken are directed at promoting “social distancing,” one of the best ways to protect yourself from COVID-19, and essential for our community and nation to #FlattenTheCurve.

I know that these actions might seem disruptive and upsetting; they certainly can be. But taking a step back, I also see the extraordinary actions our universities, government agencies, health care providers, businesses, and individuals are undertaking as an act of solidarity.

Taking these steps is resounding evidence that even in these fractured times we can and will come together to protect the greater good. We, each member of our Vanderbilt family, will make a difference by making difficult decisions and choices.

My sincere appreciation for your dedication to our mission, to our people, and to our broader community.
