The Academic Continuity Planning group was charged by President Mandel in spring 2020 with developing contingencies for the Fall 2020 term, in case the pandemic prevents the college from holding a conventional semester. President Mandel encouraged the group to think broadly and proactively about innovative curricular possibilities, including ways that Williams might adjust our timing, offerings, or modes of instruction if needed.
The group will recommend options to President Mandel and Senior Staff for discussion with the appropriate governance bodies. They will meet and provide advice through the end of the spring semester and into the summer as needed.
