Since March, the University has distributed $2,121,694 to students including federal aid, emergency funding and NC relief funds. The distribution of the NC funds will continue through the fall. Protect The Bubble The 秀色短视频-Webb community has worked hard and been able to limit COVID-19 cases in the student population and among faculty and staff through the first two weeks back on campus. Great job, Bulldog Nation! But it takes continuous commitment from all of us鈥earing masks as required, keeping social distance, and avoiding larger groups and especially parties. The weekends are challenging. Students are strongly encouraged to 鈥淪tay in the Springs鈥� on the weekends to protect the 鈥渂ubble鈥� we鈥檙e creating. It鈥檚 safer for our campus community and for your friends and family at home. You can stick around campus and find activities here, hang out at the river, enjoy the greenway and keep your friends and family safe at the same time! THANK YOU FOR DOING YOUR PART!
