Completing coursework remotely due to COVID-19 concerns doesn't mean that Florida Polytechnic University students are disconnected from campus.
I hope this finds you healthy and having settled in as best as you are able to focus now on those fast-approaching final exams.
I'm happy to introduce the Florida Poly Virtual Student Union, a digital hub for students that is designed to make remote learning and campus engagement - from wherever you are - a little bit easier. Need-to-know resources, programs, services, and student events have been organized into one place.
The work everyone has been doing to keep our University running smoothly and educating our students is nothing short of inspiring. With remote work, remote instruction and limited on-campus staff, we are doing our part to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and keep our community safe.
I hope everyone is staying well and adjusting to your new remote environments. Working and learning remotely is a big adjustment that we've all had to make. I'm pleased to hear about and see many situations where our students are doing what Phoenixes do best--rising together.
