The campus community is dealing with a different environment including mitigating classroom, dining and study area capacities; rerouting foot traffic in buildings and implementing new protocols such as wearing masks – both inside and outside – and physically distancing, among other precautionary measures.

It is the people who make the campus so vibrant and exciting and we want to be able to stay on campus,” President Jennifer Orlikoff said. “To do this, we have implemented many measures and protocols for this fall that are intended to keep everyone as safe as possible.”
