Tell Us About It	The Emergency Management Staff (Suzanne, Dave and Steve) have been on the front line of this situation since it started back in Jan 2020. They have worked tirelessly to ensure the framework for response was in place - even as the situation change daily. International Safety and Security Program Manager - Todd Holmes is a one man show. Managing the travels of students and staff while abroad is hard enough in normal times - but becomes 10x more difficult when dealing w/ a pandemic. Like the emergency management folks - Todd has been engaged on this issue since it started in China back in January. Assisting folks that were traveling during IAP and providing guidance continues to this day. While international travel has slowed down - Todd has been called on to sit on a # of committee's managing the issue - even for domestic travels. I have thanked each of these people directly. They are shining examples of forging ahead in uncertain times.
