Masking on Campus
Masking Policy on campus – Please note that we do still have a masking mandate for academic buildings and all classrooms, labs and conference rooms in non-academic buildings (like the e-factory) on campus. This is nearly the same policy that we followed last semester. Masks are required in Meyer Library at this time.
