In a letter to the campus community Tuesday, Interim Chancellor Ron Mitchelson shared his concern about how student parties have contributed to community spread."Last Wednesday, we tested 165 students with 5 positive results . The low number of positives gave me hope that everyone was doing their part," Mitchelson wrote.
