Thinking of YOU

Update for March 14th activities and beyond

SENIORS, 

Please help us pass the word along:

NO SUPER SATURDAY, ACT TESTING, or CAREER DAY tomorrow, March 14th.

Due to the ongoing threat of the coronavirus pandemic, and out of concern for the safety of our campus community, the University of Montevallo will extend its spring break, March 16-27.  Beginning Monday, March 30, through Friday, April 10, classes will be taught online and via other alternative instructional methods. 

THEREFORE, WE WILL NOT HAVE ON CAMPUS TRIO UPWARD BOUND WEEKDAY SESSIONS ON MARCH 31 and APRIL 6.  

However, will offer online tutoring.  For students needing assistance with tutoring (including online assignments from your school), scholarships, and/or want to work on ACT Skills, TRIO Upward Bound Programs can help.  Please contact Mrs. Buff (205) 516-5007 (buf2teach@gmail.com) or Jamaica (251) 767-7193 (jamaicadunigan@gmail.com). 

These decisions are based on current best practices from the CDC and public health officials regarding social distancing as a prevention strategy for disease transmission. This remains a fluid situation and UM will continue to monitor it closely.

   

Please continue to monitor, montevallo.edu/coronavirus-information throughout the coming weeks for regular updates.

Keep in touch and stay healthy!
