09:04:35 From Kendrick Durham : that joke fell flat 09:04:59 From Elizabeth Graves (her/she) : we call those "dad" jokes at my house 09:05:19 From Gary Bugg : Spare us anymore of those 09:09:10 From James Leahey : Test policy https://www.centre.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/COVID19_Testing-Policy_080420.pdf 09:09:59 From russ.strunk : For the record, that joke did great with my focus group...my dog Raven and my 86 year old neighbor. So...yeah. 09:10:04 From James Leahey : Be sure to review the test policy, and look back frequently, as it evolves regularly 09:13:38 From James Fleshman : I'll bring brats 09:13:53 From russ.strunk : I'll bring the jokes 09:14:34 From sharon.duncan : Laughter is the best medicine :) 09:17:27 From Graham T. Posner : Will parents be allowed into building to help them move in, and if so, will they also be tested? 09:17:46 From karen.ryan@centre.edu : How many have tested (Staff & Faculty) so far and how many of those came back positive? 09:18:35 From Katherine Andrews : Family members will not be entering the residence halls. Students have been advised to bring what they can carry. @Graham 09:19:05 From drew.briese@centre.edu : Rachel Briese gets great reviews: 5 Stars 09:19:39 From James Leahey : The COVIC Dashboard https://www.centre.edu/covid19-dashboard/ 09:20:03 From Katherine Andrews : @Randy please verify whether family members can enter res halls during move in 09:20:39 From Graham T. Posner : Why are people not being required to submit their test results when not tested at Centre? It seems very easy to just say you took a test and have no accountability for that. 09:20:43 From James Leahey : From the Daily COVID Pass: "Please indicate symptoms that are new or different from what you ordinarily experience due to a preexisting condition; an injury or surgery; or recent physical activity." 09:22:13 From Gary Crase : Has the masks with the clear sections for speech reading arrived yet? 09:23:12 From Marsha Crowe : Clear masks have not arrived. I will keep you posted. 09:23:54 From James Leahey : The Student Social Contract: https://www.centre.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/COVID19_Social-Contract-Students.pdf 09:24:34 From Ellen Goldey : This social contract needs to apply to all of us! 09:25:08 From Gary Crase : Chin talismans typically do not ward of viruses. 09:26:48 From James Leahey : https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?CentreCollege&layout_id=24 -- The Reporting Tool Randy mentioned 09:27:26 From Kathy Jones : @Karen Ryan - still gathering those numbers. We have names of those who had appointments but many walked up (and were welcomed to do so) during the testing days. Ephraim has those names, we won't know total tested until results are in. Anyone who tested positive was notified ASAP. Ephraim calls us to report positives so we are not sitting here waiting to see what positives show up once the report comes in. When we know, we will share. Thanks! 09:28:39 From Kathy Jones : Clarification: when we know the numbers, we will share. Thanks 09:29:34 From Katherine Andrews : @Karen - we wil be adding data on this to the dashboard as soon as we can wrap our arms around it, 09:29:34 From Kathy Jones : @ Gary Crase: I would like a t-shirt that says that!! 09:29:55 From Elizabeth Graves (her/she) : will students be able to go to the post office to pick up packages during their confinement? 09:30:04 From Ellen Goldey : Thanks Kathy, have a good meeting! 09:30:08 From randy.hays@centre.edu : Regarding the earlier discussion about family in res halls: we are encouraging students to limit what they bring, no furniture, just a car load of stuff. Ideally, they’ll come alone. But where a parent does accompany them, we know they may need to help bring up a quick load - so no more than a quick 10 minute trip up and out. We want to limit the number of folks on the hall... 09:30:13 From Katherine Andrews : @Elizabeth - there is a plan for delivery 09:30:42 From James Fleshman : sorry. accidentally pressed unmute and was calling my puppy 09:30:44 From karen.ryan@centre.edu : @Katherine Andrews, Thanks! 09:31:07 From Kathy Jones : See you later. Be safe, be well 09:31:13 From kay.drake@centre.edu : Elizabeth -yes they will be able to go to post office. We are staging this in a larger space for that first week. 09:32:15 From Graham T. Posner : I really appreciate the strong repercussions for folks not following safety 09:32:28 From James Leahey : Again -- https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?CentreCollege&layout_id=24 -- The Reporting Tool 09:33:28 From Ellen Goldey : Underscoring what Kendrick said, we need to take all the same precautions as students and monitor each other’s behavior. Most important, wearing mask that covers mouth and nose when on campus, unless you are alone in your office or other private space. Even when walking across campus. 09:34:07 From James Leahey : CARE Tool https://centrenet.centre.edu/ICS/Campus_Resources/Information_Technology_Services/Covid-19_Resources/Centre_Cares.jnz 09:37:43 From Bruce Jones : Employee Assistance Program details can be found here: https://www.centre.edu/coronavirus/ 09:38:59 From russ.strunk : Big thanks to HR for the extra roll over days, that's great 09:39:15 From Shane Wilson : What if your max is over 25? 09:39:15 From James Leahey : Working on Campus resources: https://www.centre.edu/covid19-faqs/#workingoncampus 09:43:26 From Jessica Leonard : I think some of our ISOLs could help with the post office, if possible. In the past, they helped moved new international student packages to their dorms. 09:43:56 From kay.drake@centre.edu : Shane for those that are 'grandfathered' under a different limit the 10 days will roll over too. 09:44:01 From James Leahey : @ Graham Kay just answered your question about asking employees to validate your testing. That's coming. We will be asked to validate or test on campus. 09:44:45 From Graham T. Posner : @James. Thank you! Thrilled to hear that! 09:47:05 From Mindy Wilson (Centre College) : Does that 15% include students taking classes, but not living on campus? Or is it the total number we think will not return at all this fall (or part of the fall)? 09:47:14 From Ellen Goldey : Just a quick note. 15% are not going to skip the term, rather they are staying home for remote learning. 09:47:50 From Mindy Wilson (Centre College) : Thanks, @Ellen! What percentage do we think won't return even for remote learning? 09:47:56 From Ellen Goldey : There is a smaller percentage that are taking a leave of absence, which is still a bit uncertain as to exact numbers. 09:49:34 From cheryl.burton : Will Centre give extra pay to essential workers? 09:50:42 From Jessica Leonard : Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone. Please continue to take care of yourself. Remember to be kind to yourself. 09:51:15 From Gary Bugg : I'd like a minute to say something please 09:51:46 From brian.hutzley@centre.edu : Russ I have a comment also 09:52:48 From Katherine Andrews : Thanks everyone for all the work you are doing. This is going to strengthen Centre in unexpected ways. I am humbled, daily, by the great people! 09:53:00 From Gary Crase : Some of us struggle of fail to understand others when their mouth is covered I worry this is overlooked in the mountain of planning. 09:53:27 From James Leahey : @Kathe -- you're one of those hard workers who has stepped up HUGE. Thanks! 09:53:28 From Graham T. Posner : I know this is a difficult question, though I believe a very important one: What has Centre determined is an acceptable number of COVID cases and/or COVID related deaths within our campus community? 09:54:00 From russ.strunk : ♥ Kenny!! 09:54:10 From Pam Baughman : One of the best!!!!! 09:54:12 From Jessica Durham : We’ll miss you Kenny!! 09:54:13 From Julie Wheeler : CONGRATULATIONS Kenny!!!!! 09:54:21 From bob.nesmith@centre.edu : Best wishes Kenny! Will miss you! 09:54:26 From Asia Peach : YAY KENNY! 09:54:27 From Sarah Scott : We’ll miss you Kenny!! 09:54:32 From randy.hays@centre.edu : Kenny rocks! 09:54:33 From cindy long : You will be missed, Kenny! 09:54:40 From James Leahey : Thanks, Kenny. You and I came to Centre at the same time -- 1988! Enjoy retirement. You earned a happy one. 09:54:52 From Jessica Durham : We love Santa!!!! 09:55:03 From Katherine Andrews : Thanks, Kenny. Thanks, Wayne. You all are amazing! 09:55:19 From Julie Wheeler : Best Wishes, Wayne!!! congratulations 🎉 09:55:29 From randy.hays@centre.edu : Wayne! 💕 09:55:40 From Jami Powell : Question: I have a student who has firmly decided (and communicated on the surveys) that he's staying remote this fall. He's worried about the room and board charge still on his account. I've told him to not pay it right now and give the college time to remove the charge. Is that okay advice? 09:55:55 From wayne.king : Thanks, everyone. 09:55:56 From bob.nesmith@centre.edu : Jami — yes. 09:56:11 From Jami Powell : Bob - cool, thank you! 09:56:13 From bob.nesmith@centre.edu : It will be removed when we get past move-in day and confirm he is not here. 09:56:32 From Bruce Jones : You may want to review the Working on Campus FAQs here: https://www.centre.edu/covid19-faqs/#workingoncampus 09:56:43 From Amanda Goodwin : Public plea: please consider answering the call to help us with contact tracing and case management of those in quarantine/isolation. This will take a massive effort and MANY hands to be effective! Bonus: Our office is pretty fun to work with :):):) 09:57:14 From Katherine Andrews : ^^^^This! 09:57:27 From Ellen Goldey : Amanda, if students train up for contact tracing, can they help? 09:57:44 From randy.hays@centre.edu : Student Health Services staff are the best! 09:57:48 From Katherine Andrews : @Ellen we are looking into that 09:58:21 From Joy Asher : If students can help, I have one who got certified at JHU this summer and wants a contact tracing internship this fall! 09:59:02 From Katherine Andrews : Jamey Gay is leading contact tracing. Jamey Leahey is helping determine whether students can help with this. I sure hope so! 09:59:18 From Mindy Wilson (Centre College) : @Ellen and #Kathe, we have a student who is already trained looking for a fall internship in contact tracing. Get in touch with me if this is something we'd consider. 09:59:54 From Elizabeth Graves (her/she) : should we assume opening conference is by zoom? 09:59:56 From Jami Powell : Let's not miss considering an earlier question about paying our campus "essential" workers more. 09:59:59 From Katherine Andrews : @Mindy - Jamey Gay is the person to talk to. He will be most up to date on requirements. 10:00:28 From Ellen Goldey : Opening conference on 20th, starting at 9:00 10:00:48 From Gary Crase : Russ, your joke was interpreted and was found funny by some of us. 10:00:49 From Mindy Wilson (Centre College) : @Ellen, via Zoom? 10:01:32 From Ellen Goldey : @Mindy, yes. Will send link soon. 10:01:36 From bob.nesmith@centre.edu : Keep the jokes, Russ! 10:01:44 From Katherine Andrews : @Jami - I'll be sure Kay sees that and responds to Cheryl 10:02:01 From Jami Powell : @Kathe, thank you 10:02:06 From Amanda Goodwin : @jami Powell! yes! 10:02:15 From yvonne.morley@centre.edu : Opening Convocation will also be virtual on Tuesday, August 25 at 7 p.m.
