Our Approach

A team of faculty and staff have been working diligently to plan for a safe reopening of campus. This group, known as the COVID-19 response team, has set safety guidelines and identified needed resources. 

Our approach is based on guidance from county, state and federal health officials; as well as unique factors, such as local hospital capacity and our own capabilities. This is a dynamic situation that we will continue to monitor closely, and make any needed adjustments to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 exposure.
