Dear Andy,   Thank you for sending me GPSA Resolution 15: Requesting That First-Year Writing Seminar Instructors Be Allowed to Hold Virtual Discussions in Whatever Way They Deem Appropriate.  As you may know, the president’s office does not dictate academic program content or establish instructional methods. I’m sharing your resolution with the leadership of both the John S.

Dear Adam,   Thank you for submitting EA R3: Support of the development and implementation of a Cornell Campus Circulator System.    We support the concept of a circulator, which is very much in line with our vision for campus transportation needs.

Dear Andy,   Thank you for conveying to me GPSA Resolution 14: In Support of the University Allowing International Graduate Students to TA Remotely During the Summer 2020 Session and the Fall 2020 Semester. I’m pleased that the university has recently identified and shared guidelines that allow international students who left the U.S.

Dear Andy,    Thank you for conveying to me GPSA Resolution 13: Additional Donation from the GPSA to the Access Fund to Support Graduate and Professional Students in Need Related to COVID-19 Pandemic. I continue to be immensely grateful for the support that has been directed to the Access Fund by the GPSA. These resources have helped so many students navigate the acute challenges of this spring.    Sincerely, Martha Pollack   Martha E.
