Provost Announcements: Return to Learn Update, June 17, 2020
The safety of our faculty, staff and students is the top value guiding the work we are doing to prepare for reopening campus. Things will certainly be different—but the changes that are being implemented are being done with the health and safety of campus community in mind.
Our plan is to create a community of care for everyone 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 check-list for signs and symptoms of COVID-19
- Providing two cloth masks to all faculty, staff and students
- Adopting a phased transition of employees back to campus
- Working with departments and work units to prepare spaces that follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines related to COVID-19
- Creating signage to support social distancing and hygiene guidelines across campus
- Offering FlexSync classes that allow for both in-person and remote learning this fall
If you have questions about the Return to Learn planning process or what you can expect on campus this fall, please submit your questions here. We will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible. Faculty should speak to their deans if they have situations needing accommodations.
