This message was sent to all UW Tacoma students.

I get it. The Omicron news is scary. But, as UW leaders said in their message yesterday, we are in a much better place today than we were in March of 2020.

It isn’t yet possible to predict what the course of the Omicron variant will be, but there are hopeful signs. By holding the first week of most winter quarter classes online, we are allowing more time after your holiday travels for you to get booster shots and to get tested (you can still enroll in the Husky Coronavirus Testing program) before we return for in-person instruction on Jan. 10.

Your course instructors will provide updates via Canvas and/or email on specific course plans. I urge you to monitor those channels.

All student support services will continue to be available from the start of winter quarter on Jan. 3. These include:

Specific support to help you get through COVID challenges is also available:

Thank you for all you have done and will do to keep yourself, your loved ones and your community safe, and I hope you have a restful, joyous holiday break.

P.S. The Mattress Factory and the Dawg House Student Lounge in the University Y will be open from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. during winter break!
