Good afternoon students,
I hope that you are all doing well and heeding the advice to socially distance yourself from others.
In light of the many emails you’ve received over the past few days, the Graduate Studies Office has made the following changes in how we will operate given this fluid situation.
Effective immediately we will not have in-person meetings in our office. All student issues will be addressed via phone call, email, or Zoom meeting. All forms needing to be sent to OGAPS should be scanned and sent to both Holly (richardh@tamug.edu) and Nicole (kinslown@tamug.edu).
Holly and I will be in and out of the office, but when we’re not here on campus we are working remotely at home. Please reach out to us if you need anything just like this was a regular semester.
We are here to help you all get through this semester. As you’ve seen from the emails I’ve been forwarding to you with guidance from TAMU and TAMUG, we’re going to do things a little differently and remotely. We’ll all get through this together.
Please reach out if you need anything, whether it is school related or not. We’re here.
Thanks,
Nicole and Holly
Dear Graduate and Professional Students,
We understand that reports on the impact of Coronavirus around the world can be stressful and confusing, and that the response measures taken by the university and others may be disruptive. Please know that your safety and well-being are our top priorities. If you have concerns or need support, please do not hesitate to contact advisors, faculty, staff, our office, or Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS). Our most important mission is to support students in attaining their education goals while enhancing the safety of our campus.
In hopes of addressing your questions, I would like to provide you with a few clarifying details as they relate to graduate and professional students.
Precautions to Continue to Take:
FAQ’s and the university site will continue to be updated.
Additional questions or needs can be routed to the IT Help Desk at (979) 845-8300, where staff will address issues or transfer you to the correct support personnel.
I hope I have been able to provide you with some clarity and reassurance. We appreciate your patience as we adjust to this rapidly-changing situation.
Sincerely,
Karen L. Butler-Purry
Associate Provost for Graduate and Professional Studies
