Dear Students,
I hope that you are enjoying the arrival of Spring! I am personally enjoying the warmer weather and seeing flowers and trees bloom. It comes at a perfect time, as we get into the final stretch of the semester.
Take Time to Get Outside
As the weather begins to warm, now is an excellent time to take advantage of NYC’s parks and green spaces. Spending time in nature has been shown to restore and strengthen our mental abilities, increasing focus and attention and decreasing stress. The Mailman School has compiled this great list of NYC parks and outdoor spaces - how many have you visited?
Omicron BA.2 Variant
The University continues to keep a watchful eye on available information about the Omicron BA.2 variant of the COVID-19 virus, and just as we have done with each new development throughout the pandemic, we are using emerging data to inform our policies. For the latest updates, make sure to regularly check the COVID-19 website.
As always, please contact [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
Take care,
Joseph Defraine Greenwell, Ed.D.
