Air Quality Guidance for Summer Session/Friday, June 9

From President Frank H. Wu:

As air quality remains an issue in Queens, New York City air quality alerts and health warnings advise individuals to reduce outdoor activities, consider wearing a mask, and to stay indoors.

In coordination with guidance issued by The City University of New York, please note the following:

Faculty are being instructed to pivot classes scheduled for Friday, June 9 to a remote modality or to reschedule them.
Students should look for a communication from their instructors regarding classes scheduled for tomorrow. For students with exams, unless told otherwise, the exam schedule has not changed.
Staff and students who work on campus should check with their supervisors regarding a remote work schedule for tomorrow. Employees designated as “essential staff” must report to work.
We have requested other activities on campus be moved indoors or rescheduled as well. The Sixth Annual CUNY Pridefest will take place from 12 noon to 4 pm in the Dining Hall.

We will assess the status of weekend classes and scheduled events tomorrow and communicate relevant information to the college community.

If you are on campus, please note KN95 and surgical masks are available upon request at every campus gate and at every Public Safety booth.
