Emory University CFDE Director Eric Weeks

Message from the Director

Welcome to Spring 2022! Very soon we will be switching to in-person classes. My most useful advice is to expect that some students may test positive for COVID right before this transition and not come back to campus immediately. Please prepare to record your in-person classes or in other ways support absent students. My second most useful advice is to remind you of the CFDE’s FAQ on Spring 2022 teaching (link below), updated to reflect current pandemic conditions.

Have a wonderful semester!
