Dear Caldwell University Students,
The Caldwell University Pandemic Response Team has been meeting regularly for the last few weeks and has been closely monitoring the developing COVID19 outbreak. This is a rapidly evolving situation, and our plan continues to be developed in compliance with guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and in partnership with local and state health officials.
Although no known cases have been reported among our campus community, in an abundance of caution, we are taking the following steps:
- Classes will be suspended during the week of March 16 through 22 to allow for faculty to prepare for online and other remote methods of course delivery. During this time, classrooms, residence halls and common areas will be deep cleaned and disinfected.
- The residence halls will follow the same protocols as during spring break. If there are questions or concerns, you may contact Residence Life at cllopez@caldwell.edu
- The Dining Hall will operate under normal business hours. Starbucks will be closed.
- Administrative offices will remain open.
- All scheduled meetings, events and activities on campus for the week of March 16 are postponed.
- Athletic events will take place in compliance with CACC and NCAA guidance. For the latest updates, please check caldwellathletics.com.
- Be sure that you take precautions to stay healthy. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds several times during the day. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If you feel unwell, please consult your health care professional but do not come to or stay on campus.
In the coming days, please be sure to regularly check your Caldwell email address for updates on the resumption of classes and campus events.
Stay safe,
Nancy H. Blattner, Ph.D., OPA
President
