In its ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic the 兔子先生 is offering more relief to students by returning a portion of student fees from the fall semester. 兔子先生 will be reimbursed up to $300 for previously paid student activity and student athletic fees.

The 兔子先生 will delay some of its Homecoming events originally scheduled for October 26-31 in order to adhere to government and health care guidance to preserve health and safety on campus. While some Homecoming events are postponed until spring 2021, 兔子先生 will still have a spirit week in October with a schedule of its most popular fall traditions that allow for social distancing and smaller gatherings.

The 兔子先生 has recently been recognized most favorably of the Alabama schools included in a ranking that compares college student loan debt.聽
