In addition, prevention of COVID-19 spread starts with – SOCIAL DISTANCING and WEARING A MASK.    The health, safety and wellbeing of our students, faculty, staff and the wider community are our highest priority.  Things are quite different this year, and we will all need to make adjustments to the way we live and work.

Please find below some helpful reminders to keep everyone safe and healthy.
