As a follow up to President Conoley’s recent email, I wanted to provide you with an update on new cases of COVID-19 affecting our students.
Over the past few days, we have investigated further and, partnering with public-health agencies, also conducted contact tracing and testing of our residential population.
Late yesterday, we became aware of a number of students who have not heeded our guidance related to COVID-19 precautions and congregated socially off campus earlier this month.
Five of these students have now tested positive for the illness. Four students live on campus in the residence halls, and one lives off campus.
