<span>First is the availability of extra masks. There are 350 masks in the office, so please feel free to take a few extra masks to class with you in case some students forgot</span> to bring their own. I will get more if we need them over the course of the
semester. <br>

<div style="font-family:Tahoma; font-size:13px">Second is travel funds. I realize the Delta variant has altered travel plans, but there are conferences and possibly research travel in Spring that might be feasible. The department has $1,000 for each faculty
member for travel and the College has an additional $700 this year (see <a href="https://policy.ku.edu/CLAS/faculty-travel-funding" id="LPlnk">
