Dear Faculty and Staff,

We hope everyone is having a positive start to the summer. We write to provide an update to the college’s policy on visitors participating in indoor events and activities. Effective July 1, 2022, guests at indoor campus events will no longer have to provide proof of vaccination to be admitted.

We do request that visitors only attend events if they are up to date with all COVID-19 vaccinations, as recommended by the CDC. As we have done throughout the pandemic, we have adjusted our policies as campus and community conditions have changed over time. We are a highly vaccinated campus with a better understanding of how to manage the presence of an evolving virus in our community. We will assess changing conditions with our public health partners and respond and communicate accordingly.

As a mask-friendly community, the college will continue to respect the preference of any individual – including students, faculty, staff, and visitors – to continue to wear a mask. We maintain our current indoor masking policy, encourage individuals to get vaccinated, and ask that any person who has tested positive or is experiencing symptoms remain at home.

Thank you for your support in managing the college’s ongoing response.

Sincerely,

Dan Hitchell
Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer
