Over the past several weeks, Emory has taken unprecedented measures to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. In support of this effort, employees across LITS have worked tirelessly to enable Emory’s transition to online learning and to continue vital services as we shift to a remote work environment for most staff members.

Naturally, an event of this magnitude requires a great deal of coordination and communication. Therefore, I wanted to remind everyone of the key resources that are available to you. Also, to help ease the difficulty of locating various Emory or departmental communications, many announcements have been stored and organized on the LITS HRwebsite for your reference. As additional all-staff communications are distributed, they will be added to the COVID-19 Updates section of the LITS HR website as well.
