In adherence to public health guidance, the university announced its decision to cancel campus events and move classes primarily online for the fall 2020 semester, out of careful consideration of the health and well-being of all attendees. The university has implemented these important policies and measures to promote safety and prevent the spread of illness.
We look forward to safely hosting visitors on campus again in the future, and please continue to monitor the website for updates. The university will continue to re-evaluate our operations throughout the semester.
