<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">At the end of last week I received an email from our divisional Dean, Susan Olesik, that there are reports of noncompliance in some buildings with respect to wearing masks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The good news is that none of these are coming from PRB. However, I cannot emphasize enough that we must remain committed to following our safety procedures.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My sense from the college is that as long as we keep transmission to a very low level, the labs will remain open. Our safety measures are designed to do this as long as we all
<b>work together</b> and <b>everyone</b> continues to follow <b>all</b> of our safety procedures. Here is a link to our safety documents:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am very proud of how we restarted our labs and have been committed to our safety procedures.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Let’s be sure we continue to focus on safety through these challenging times.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
