Important message regarding COVID-19

To our valued students, visitors, and partners:

Based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Arizona Department of Health Services, ASU has made the decision to limit staffing across the university to keep everyone as safe as possible. As such, Levin Center staff will continue working remotely, but we will return to the office in a part-time capacity effective Monday, January 11, 2021. We have begun to phase in our on-campus presence in order to provide the best possible service in the safest way possible for our students, faculty, staff and visitors. We hope to be available Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm, but please be advised that there may be some lapses in physical presence due to staff availability and university guidelines. Office doors will be closed and signage should indicate office hours; please knock on the door within those hours! Please also be aware that capacity restrictions to meet social distancing requirements will be in place. Face covers are REQUIRED for anyone in the building.


As during the summer and fall, we will still be available to assist via email, phone, and other electronic resources during vacancy hours. To reach our team during regular business hours:
