Mask Up and Take the Shot, IceHawks!
Safety remains our highest priority. Masks/face covering are once again required inside all public spaces on all Lake Superior College campus locations, regardless of vaccination status.
Vaccinations: Minnesota State is following the guidance from the State of Minnesota and Minnesota Department of Health on vaccinations of our students and employees.
All state workers, including all LSC employees, must either be fully vaccinated or be tested for COVID every week beginning September 8. Employees are able to find additional information on available vaccines at www.mn.gov/covid19. While students are not currently required to be vaccinated (with exceptions in some programs, including some healthcare programs), we are strongly encouraging all students to get vaccinated as soon as possible. The most effective way we can reduce the spread of COVID-19 and avoid further restrictions as we move forward is to get vaccinated as soon as possible, if you’re not already. For more information on this and how to find a vaccine location, please visit mn.gov/covid19/.
