The Reopening Committee
The Reopening Committee was established in Spring 2020 to address the many issues that have arisen as a result of the ongoing pandemic. The committee meets every week to discuss all of the items that require action, and to communicate those decisions via email, the web, and virtual town hall sessions. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to reach out to the Committee members at any time with questions or concerns by emailing reopeningcommittee@umich.edu
