An Update From Alan Fish

FP&M team,

As I reflect at the end of this week, I remain in awe of the employees of FP&M. I have seen incredible levels of flexibility, care, and quick response as we all adjust to a new normal for the foreseeable future. The service our teams provide has required a number of staff working far beyond ‘normal’ work hours, to be agile in delivering our high standard of service and, most importantly, working together in a respectful and kind manner as we navigate necessary changes. Thank you each for doing your part while keeping the health and safety of yourselves and your families a top priority.

To reiterate my message earlier this week, we are still in the beginnings of this. It is vital that we stay calm and focused on doing our part to reduce the extent of this public health crisis. Our new normal of mindful social distancing, staying home, and following other public health recommendations means we must change how we work, play, and live.

A special note for our essential employees still on campus. Please know we are restricting access to campus buildings and following public health guidance to keep you all safe.

The FP&M leadership team continues to work with campus on the quickly changing environment. I will continue to communicate with you as we have firm updates. Please read on for important employee information.

Stay Safe and Virtual High Five,
Alan Fish, FP&M AVC
