Message to Students, March 25, 2020
Dear Students,
Earlier today you received a message from Chancellor Malhotra announcing Governor Walz’s Executive Order 20-20 which states, in part, that:
“Beginning on Friday, March 27, 2020 at 11:59 pm through Friday, April 10, 2020 at 5:00 pm, all persons currently living within the State of Minnesota are ordered to stay at home or in their place of residence except to engage in the Activities and Critical Sector work.”
The colleges and universities that are part of the Minnesota State system are among the entities identified as “Critical Sector work,” and thus, the University will remain open to provide essential educational services and resources for students. Classes will begin again on March 30, through either online or alternative instruction. Your instructors will be reaching out to you with more details, if they have not already done so.
Although most buildings on our campus are now closed and most of our staff is working remotely, we remain committed to providing the services you need. More details about how to access the services you need can be found at www.mnsu.edu/coronavirus.
The University administrative team is diligently working to identify how Minnesota State Mankato will comply with this Executive Order to maintain the health and well-being of all our faculty, staff, and students, while also providing the necessary educational services. More information will be forthcoming as details are finalized.
Thank you all for remaining committed to your education during this time of uncertainty. Until my next message, be safe and well.
Sincerely,
Richard Davenport
President
