Spring 2020 - Week 1
OneDU - Online
Happy Spring Term! We are excited to welcome you back! With the move to your new OneDU-Online experience for spring quarter, the staff in Campus Life and Inclusive Excellence has designed a Canvas Orientation as a One-Stop Shop of resources, with the following two chapters, to support you:
Academic Resources and Support
Health, Well-being, and Community Connection
These modules are self-paced, will remain available throughout the spring term for you to continue to reference, and have helpful information to keep you connected to your DU community. To find these resources, log into Canvas and select Spring 2020 Orientation.
We care about you, we are here for you, and we know that you can do this!
DU, it's up to you to help curate the most amazing playlist for this time of physical distancing! Pick songs that are themed for quarantine or songs that make you feel less alone.

From the Height of the Roman Empire to the Space Race, we look at the good, the bad, and try to have a laugh or two along the way.
