  • - I recently sent a message to the Harvard community outlining the steps we're taking

  • on campus to limit the spread of coronavirus disease 2019, more commonly referred to simply

  • as coronavirus.

  • Harvard remains open and operations will continue with appropriate measures to protect the health

  • of the community, two of which I announced in my message.

  • We've begun transitioning to virtual instruction for graduate and undergraduate classes and

  • aim to complete our work by Monday, March 23rd, the first day of classes scheduled following

  • spring recess.

  • We're also asking students not to return to campus following spring recess.

  • All graduate students will transition to remote work wherever possible and on-campus activities

  • and interactions will be severely limited for any student who needs to remain on campus.

  • These extraordinary actions are intended to minimize the need for larger group gatherings

  • and to reduce prolonged time spent in proximity.

  • They are consistent with the recommendations of leading health officials on how to limit

  • the spread of coronavirus.

  • None of us wanted to see the spring semester altered so significantly, but our top priority

  • must be ensuring one and another's health and safety.

  • We are taking these measures to ensure the safety of our students to be sure, but, more

  • than that, we also must be concerned about the safety of everyone who works at Harvard.

  • It's the people who work in our dining halls, those who work in our dormitories, our faculty

  • and our staff more broadly.

  • All of these individuals are at risk for this virus and so by limiting the presence of our

  • students on our campus, we seek to slow down the potential threat that's posed by this

  • disease.

  • Also, by limiting the possible exposure of our students, we seek to protect their families

  • as well.

  • We must all work together, all be considerate of each other as we try to limit the spread

  • of this disease.

  • Students, I know it will be challenging to be away from friends and colleagues, from

  • familiar spaces that have become your home.

  • I thank you for understanding that being away from campus is, indeed, a selfless act of

  • caring for our community and especially for those among us who may be at increased risk.

  • To my faculty colleagues, I know the prospect of changing course mid-stream is daunting.

  • I appreciate your willingness to adopt approaches and tools, and teaching methods,

  • that may be unfamiliar to you and

  • I want you to know that you have the full support of the university as you undertake

  • what I suspect will be a remarkable shift in the way you teach.

  • To our staff, I know that, even on our best days, the lion's share of support for our teaching

  • and our scholarship falls on your shoulders.

  • Now we rely upon you to take on additional responsibilities with the same creativity

  • and flexibility and judgment that you always apply in service to our mission, thank you.

  • As your president and colleague, but also as a husband and father and a grandfather, I find myself

  • deeply grateful for the work of our community, especially now.

  • It's an honor to have colleagues from across the university who are working tirelessly

  • through their scholarship to address

  • every aspect of the coronavirus in the hope that we might check its spread and impact.

  • It's an honor to have colleagues from across the university who are using the latest information

  • available to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of members of all of our community.

  • It's an honor to have colleagues who are counseling care and generosity,

  • who are urging understanding and respect, and who are championing physical and mental

  • health.

  • So much of what's happening at Harvard right now is largely invisible to the wider world

  • and it's true value will only become clear to us in the rear-view mirror.

  • For now I'm confident that we're doing everything within our power to address the challenges

  • posed by the coronavirus.

  • Our efforts will take understanding on the part of all.

  • It will take patience on the part of us all.

  • And I hope it will help to bring us all together as a community.

  • As I said in my earlier message, I'm proud

  • to be a member of a place where people put greater good above their own self-interest.

  • Thank you again for your patience and your resilience.

  • And for doing all you do to make Harvard a special place.

  • Thank you.
