Dear Colleagues,

The Research and Libraries Working Group has developed guidance for the participation of undergraduate students (PDF) in UMass facilities, which has been approved by Provost McCarthy.

Draft guidance on farms, field work and the related travel, and research involving human subjects is being developed and will be shared soon along with an update on the Research and Libraries Operating Plans.

Thank you and be well,

Mike
