As all of you know, we recently concluded one of the most challenging semesters Old Dominion University has ever experienced. Despite the hardship and uncertainty, you adapted and persevered.
ODU’s Steering Committee on Academic and Student Involvement has completed guidance on what we expect for the return to on-campus in-struction this fall and drafted ODU’s Blueprint for Fall 2020 reopening.
The highlights include:
A fall 2020 academic calendar that allows for on-campus, hybrid and online instruction, starting Aug. 15 and finishing before Thanksgiving break, on Nov. 25. This calendar eliminates fall break. Reduced density in classrooms, workspaces and buildings to promote physical distancing. Procurement of critical equipment and supplies to lessen the risk of virus transmission on campus. Protocols for enhanced cleaning and disinfecting of buildings and facilities. COVID-19 testing and tracing.
To view the Steering Committee’s full report, visit odu.edu/blueprint
Campus leaders, in collaboration with faculty and staff, will begin adopting these measures, but we will need everyone's commitment and engagement for a successful fall semester. All of us share the responsibility for keeping our community safe.
We will continue to provide regular updates, including any modifications, as conditions may war-rant. In the coming weeks, Student Engagement and Enrollment Services will release guidance on our phased approach for students returning to campus, including details on housing, health and counseling support, campus dining, activities and events. SEES will also launch a #ReignResponsibly campaign to promote wellness.
This global crisis has reinforced our resolve and resilience. We don’t know when the pandemic will end, but as we continue to adapt to this new way of life, we will strive to build an even stronger Mon-arch community.
I have missed seeing you, and I look forward to welcoming you back to campus in just a couple of months. In the meantime, please stay healthy and safe.
Sincerely,
John R. Broderick President

Dear GPIS Community,
The past three weeks have been tumultuous, heartbreaking, and inspiring. The
senseless, tragic death of George Floyd has rocked the United States and our
community to its core. The voices of GPIS and GSIS join in a nation-wide choir in
demanding justice for his death and our deepest condolences for his family.
Mr. Floyd’s death highlights the need to combat the systemic racism responsible for
his death and the death of too many others at the hands of police officers.
The past week alone demonstrates why change is necessary and needed. America's
legacy of hate must be dismantled to be true to its guiding ideals of equality, justice,
and liberty. None of these ideals are exclusive but for too long they have been at the
cost of too many black lives. Those lives matter. Their legacies matter.
Better days will come, so long as we build them.
Respectfully,
Ian Birdwell
President
Graduate Society of International Studies

The chart to the left can be helpful if
you begin to feel ill, but remember, the
most important thing to do if you feel
ill is to contact your physician and to
follow their advice.
As the national emergency continues in regard to COVID-19, GPIS and GSIS
have collected a list of resources for students and faculty to stay abreast of
the developing situation. Keep an eye on the next few pages as they will
update as time goes on.

Responsible Conduct of Research Modules Old Dominion University has a policy of training all graduate students in the fundamentals of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). Graduate students must complete the CITI training prior to completion of 12 semester hours at ODU. GPIS students are required to complete the following modules:
Misconduct (falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism);
Data acquisition, management, sharing and ownership;
Mentor/trainee relationships;
Publication practice and responsible authorship;
Peer review;
Conflicts of interest; and
Collaborative research.
Effective immediately: Students who have not completed these modules will be unable to register for the following semester classes!
Important Notice to all GPIS students The January 21st Add/Drop Deadline is nearly here:
Therefore it is extremely important that all MA students be informed that they must ALWAYS register for courses at the 700 level and that all Ph.D. students must ALWAYS register at the 800 level. This is mandatory. If there are no more spaces available at the appropriate 700 level or 800 level, for MA and PhD students respectively, then those students MUST contact Margo Stambleck at [email protected] who will arrange for more registration spaces to be available.
Distance students may join any of the workshops above via WebEx at https://odu.webex.com/meet/carhodes
Note: Students should plan to attend a work-shop at least one semester before submitting the thesis or dissertation to the Associate Dean's Of-fice. Contact Deborah Giles ([email protected]) to sign up.
All workshops require registration at least 24 hours in advance. To register, email Deborah Giles ([email protected]) with your UIN, graduate program director, and expected date of gradua-tion, and indicate which workshop you plan to attend.
