Second round of town halls scheduled for next week
The Danforth Campus community is invited to attend a second round of town hall webinars August 3-7 to learn more about the university’s plans for the fall semester, and to ask questions and share feedback with university leaders.
Visit the town hall information page on the WashU Together website for details and to submit questions in advance.
Everyone is encouraged to watch live via YouTube if you are able as it uses less bandwidth on your internet network and will allow for more people to participate in the town halls. Links to watch on Zoom or YouTube will be available at the page linked above.
