Dear Romance Studies Faculty, Graduate Students and Staff,

Congratulate yourselves for having made it through another week of social distancing and working remotely. I hope everyone is ready to begin remote teaching next week. As always, if there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Speeding up Your Internet Connection

Ewa reported that after contacting her internet provider, Spectrum, they suggested that she use a wired ethernet connect, rather than WiFi to get the best connectivity. Further they invited her to get replacement equipment from them for free, and she reports that the new modem and router have noticeably increased her internet speed at home.

Cayuga Medical Center Collecting Tablets

Our local hospital is looking for donations of older/used iPads or tablets that will be employed to let patients communicate with their loved ones while they are in the hospital. The Ithaca Voice has more information about this program and how to donate a tablet.

I hope everyone has a restful weekend.

Stay well, stay home, and stay in touch,

Mary Beth
