Latest: Our response to the Fall 2020 announcement (and what it means for Gopherdon)

Marquis Kurt - July 31 2020

From the Gopherdon moderation team, we will definitely miss seeing your faces for the fall semester as we continue to make Gopherdon a great place for the Goucher Community. We respect the college’s decision to promptly go online as COVID-19 cases continue to rise, and we will adapt accordingly to better suit the Goucher community.

As of October, app users can switch between multiple accounts and quickly access parts of the app with keyboard shortcuts on the desktop versions.
