Message to Students: Return to Learn Update, June 17, 2020
Dear Students:
Your safety is the top value guiding the work we at the University are doing to prepare for your arrival back on campus this fall. Things will certainly be different—but the changes that are being implemented are being done with the health and safety of all our students, faculty, staff and visitors in mind.
Our plan is to surround you with a community of care at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Although we don’t have all the details about exactly how that will happen, here are some of the ways we will do so:
- Providing access to an electronic daily health self-screening checklist for signs and symptoms of COVID-19
- Providing two cloth masks to each of you
- Following social distancing and hygiene guidelines across campus
- Offering FlexSync classes that allow for both in-person and remote learning options
- Reserving space for resident students who need to quarantine and/or isolate
I encourage any of you who have questions about the Return to Learn planning process or what you can expect on campus this fall to submit your questions here. We will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.
I will continue to send you email updates so you know how the University is preparing for fall and you can find more information about the Return to Learn initiative by visiting www.mnsu.edu/returntolearn.
I look forward to seeing you again in August!
Sincerely,
Richard Davenport,
President
