Dear WSU Tri-Cities community,

The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging in so many ways. We are constantly bombarded with messages about the spread of the virus, ways to maintain our own health and maintain the health of those around us by social distancing, quarantining, and about the closing of our institutions that keep us connected. Schools, places of worship, restaurants, and other gathering places are key ways in which we remain connected to each other and to our communities.

I want you all to know that we, at Washington State University Tri-Cities, care about you, your families, and our community. Today can feel uncertain, but it is times like these that we can take care of each other and act with compassion.

We are in this together for as long as it takes. We wish you the best during this stressful and uncertain period.

Sincerely,
WSU Tri-Cities Chancellor Sandra Haynes
