This sense of the Senate resolution expresses our appreciation for the generous community efforts at Cornell University, especially (1) the frontline services that kept us safe during those first years of the COVID-19 pandemic, including dining, cleaning, health, and testing services; (2) those who helped manage the logistics, including modeling infectivity, housing, information technologists, audio-visual technologists, facilities, and university leadership; and (3) the faculty and students who continued to be adaptable and dedicated to an enriched higher education experience. It is acknowledged that we are still learning to manage COVID-19 and that its repercussions will be felt for a long time to come, but we have learned lessons that will guide us through future challenges to our community.
