April 6, 2022 —  As President Benarroch noted in his March 23 message, UM is cautiously increasing in-person activity. We have eased some restrictions and the current plan is that, with the exception of approved distance education (DE) courses, Summer Term classes will be held in-person. In order to fully support the increased in-person instruction on campus, some employees have already begun their return to campus and others will be required to return after the end of Winter Term.
