COVID-19 and CUSE: Working Remotely

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the University of Notre Dame is requesting that any employees who can work remotely should do so. The CUSE staff will therefore all be working remotely for the time being. We are still available for advising appointments, however, via Zoom or phone, and you can reach us via email or phone with questions during working hours. Although we will obviously be unable to hold in-person events, we intend to be just as available to our students and alumni as we would be if we were working from campus. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

COVID-19 and CUSE: Student Grants

Due to the outbreak of 2019-novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the University of Notre Dame is prohibiting all University-sponsored travel based on the Level 4 travel warning issued by the State Department.

CUSE will not be awarding any summer funding this year, and will pause all further funding until approved to restart by the university. 

When making decisions concerning travel, please keep in mind that the health situation could significantly deteriorate in a matter of a few days and could affect your ability to return to campus because of travel restrictions or required self-isolation.
