Message to the Lehman College Community |
|
Our essential workers have been on the front lines these past nine months in Lehman’s response to the pandemic, keeping the campus safe and healthy. As the semester ends, we would like to give them the opportunity to enjoy the holidays and take a much-needed break. The only way to be able to do that is to reduce density and activity on campus. Therefore, we will be closing the campus to anyone other than essential personnel effective Sunday, December 20, 2020 through Sunday, January 3, 2021.
Between January 4, 2021 through January 15, 2021 we will reopen for access, but we ask that requests for access to campus be kept to the minimum to only to pick up essential supplies or to complete critical work. If possible, we ask that you arrange to pick up supplies, etc. prior to December 21.
This unusual and trying time has been made easier for all because of your cooperation and assistance. On behalf of all Lehman’s essential workers, I thank you.
Happy and Healthy Holidays to all,
Rene M. Rotolo
Vice President
Administration and Finance

The Lehman platform for the Library’s chat reference and e-mail services has changed. Working in conjunction with several CUNY libraries, the new version will provide enhanced services, user experience improvements, and better follow up features while still providing the same 24-7 chat coverage enjoyed in the past. The new software provides the option of creating a public knowledge base, which the Library will use to better share information about its services and events with the campus community. For more information, please contact Head of Reference Vanessa Arce Senati.
