Dashboard Update<\/h2>\n

Our positive COVID-19 cases on campus are the lowest they\u2019ve been since the beginning of the semester.<\/strong> This past week\u2019s reporting period, we\u2019ve had 10 new positive cases, and a total of 31 active positive cases.<\/p>\n

The number of students quarantining is up (146) \u2013 and this is good<\/strong> thing. Findings consistently indicate that higher numbers in quarantine equals lower incidences of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

This is exactly what we are seeing on our campus.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: Quarantine works.<\/h3>\n

Thank you<\/strong> for those who do so. Let\u2019s keep it up, control the spread, and stay strong, together.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you to the nearly 2,000 students who took the Spring Break survey. The results are in front of campus decision-makers who will be making their decision the week of Nov. 2.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also making important decisions now for Spring and want to hear about your fall experience<\/a> so the university can respond to the needs of students and improve the Spring experience.<\/p>\n

Students will be able to register for spring semester classes starting Monday, Nov. 2. Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide<\/a> on how to register for classes in eServices.<\/p>\n

When you register, you may notice some classes labeled with \u201cJ TERM\u201d. These classes are held over Winter Break, and it\u2019s a new option to help students stay on course or get ahead in their programs. Learn more about J Term classes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As always, your faculty advisor or an advisor in the Warrior Success Center<\/a> can help you with questions about registration.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not easy to create new habits \u2013 like taking the daily self-assessment<\/a> before we come to campus. Sometimes, it\u2019s helpful to have a reminder.<\/p>\n

When the call went out for \u201cfriendly folks\u201d to act as Count on Me door greeters, Warriors like Mary and Rebecca, were quick to answer.<\/p>\n

We appreciate the countless hours our door greeters put in this semester to help us keep one another safe!<\/p>\n

It is important to take the daily assessment to remind yourself to stay safe and to make sure that you know how your health is every day.<\/p>\n

It allows your in-person classes to have a sense of calm, knowing that the people around you in those classes feel safe too.<\/p>\n

Being compassionate is a powerful action. When you give compassion to others, you can let go of the anger and resentment you’re feeling toward them.<\/p>\n

When you give compassion to yourself, you can free yourself of criticism and pressure that you put on yourself.<\/p>\n

WSU Counselor Mick Lynch sends a message of compassion<\/a>, wishing all Warriors health, happiness and peace.<\/p>\n
