The Roadrunners Safe Return Committee kicked off its work this week. The representative Universitywide committee received its charge and finalized the list of team members who will make sure a return to campus is coordinated, collaborative and well-communicated.

Members were selected from a wide and inclusive swath of the University community to represent the many committees and working groups already in place. The idea is that each member will share information, questions and concerns with and from their respective work groups. This chart explains how the team reports to senior leadership.
