H/t @tom_lebert for the photo.

DC voters: Do you plan to vote at Capital One Arena or Nationals Park? Are you also a Capitals, Wizards or Nationals fan? I'm writing an article on fans voting at their favorite team’s home for my reporting class, please let me know if you’re willing to answer a few questions!

[Tom Lebert @tom_lebert]

@AmericanU @PolicyKels Will these be optional for in-person instruction? I don’t want to be locked out of a class because it’s in person and I don’t plan on going back to DC yet.

BREAKING: AU will have a mostly online spring 2021 semester, while expanding in-person classes in selected areas of study, opening up limited housing and canceling spring break. The semester will have a delayed start, beginning on Jan. 19. More information to come.

[Dan Papscun @papscun]

AU just announced that spring 2021 abroad programs requiring students to be in-country before Feb. 6 are canceled due to COVID-19 + travel restrictions.

Story TK @TheEagleOnline, but if you're one of the students affected, I'd love to hear from you.
