Dear Assumption Faculty and Staff,
Following this week of remote operations, on-campus operations will resume on Monday, January 11. The University will adhere to, for the time being, the Commonwealth’s current 25 percent maximum office occupancy guideline. Deans and Vice-presidents will communicate how this capacity limit will be implemented to ensure compliance with this guideline to promote the health and safety of University employees.
As a reminder, you must complete the below tasks prior to returning to your office:
- Obtain two COVID-19 tests in the Testing Center
- Receive notification of two negative results
- Upload to Medicat proof of your flu vaccine
If you tested positive for COVID-19 over the break, you must upload to Medicat proof of your positive PCR test for confidential review by Health Services staff.
Students are still scheduled to return to campus at the end of the month, if the public health situation permits. The spring 2021 semester will likely rival the challenges of the fall 2020 semester given the persistent spread of COVID-19 in Central Massachusetts and in Worcester. By making decisions that benefit and promote the health and safety of the campus community, we will endure yet another series of challenges as we work tirelessly to provide students the option of a residential experience and in-person instruction.
I thank each of you once again for your resilience and commitment to our students and the University. I hope you remain healthy and safe.
Sincerely,
