One Emerson: Getting Around Boston
Whether you’re an off-campus student who will be commuting or a residential student who wants to explore a bit of this great city, you have options.

Classes haven’t even started yet, but I know we’re all experiencing how different this semester is going to be as we work to stay vigilant against the virus.
Thinking about the week ahead, here are a few important pieces of information to reiterate:
We are pleased to launch a new dashboard that will provide a snapshot of our community’s COVID-19 testing data from Tufts Medical Center/The Broad Institute, updated weekly throughout the fall term.
In addition to our testing program for returning students, faculty, and staff, the College will require that anyone who is approved to come to campus complete a very brief self-report of current or new symptoms.
We’ll start welcoming new students to the campus tomorrow and through the weekend, with returning students coming back next week. Welcome, and welcome back! We’ve been waiting for you.
As college and university students return to Boston, area institutions of higher learning like ours have been very busy for the past several months, developing thoughtful, science-based programs and protocols to ensure, as much as possible, that our teaching and learning environments are safe places for our students, faculty, and staff—as well as for our neighboring communities.
The common denominator to ensure our success? We each have to do our part.
While we all know that we need to wear face coverings in all Emerson spaces except for our own residence hall room (for those who live on campus), what actually counts as an acceptable face covering?
Campus Services sent an email last week with some updates about mail services, dining, the bookstore, and IDs. I wanted to recap some of the highlights here.
