Note to employers:

Whether you have already hired a student to begin a work term, or are in the midst of the recruitment process, you are welcome to decide how you would like to proceed. Students are able to apply and interview (remotely) and have been advised that start dates may be delayed. Remote work is encouraged, and feedback from the Summer 2020 workterm shows that students have adapted well to this work style.
