While we, our families, our friends, and the world around us continue to grapple with the countless unknowns in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, we move forward as a community strengthened by our mission: To educate the future generation of artists and communicators who will tell our stories.
It has become increasingly clear that we must take action now to mitigate the exponential growth of the virus, reduce opportunities for contact, slow the spread of infection, and as epidemiologists say, “flatten the curve.”
We have compiled answers to your most frequently asked questions, which we have updated on the COVID-19 Information web page. We will continue to update the FAQ as new information becomes available.
In the interest of safeguarding the health and wellness of our students, faculty, and staff as well as members of the greater community, who may be more vulnerable to this disease, the College has made the difficult decision to transition all in-person classes to online learning for the remainder of the spring term.
As you know, the College has been closely tracking developments related to the novel coronavirus COVID-19. Administrators continue to stay in regular contact with public health experts and have been meeting frequently to evaluate and prepare for this ever-changing situation.
As we prepare to welcome students and faculty back to campus following the spring break, the College is actively preparing to ensure the safety and health of our community amid the changing status of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) in our region and around the world.
I have heard directly from concerned students, parents, faculty, and staff, and I would like to take this opportunity to inform all of you about the important work underway to prepare our community.
