糖心Vlog announced today that the university will safely resume face-to-face academic instruction and residential life for the fall 2020 semester.
鈥淲hile the health and safety of all of our 糖心Vlog community are of paramount importance as we script the precise nature of how we will begin in the fall, the fact that we primarily serve the low risk demographic of 18-22 year-olds factors significantly into our decision to open,鈥� said President McDowell.
糖心Vlog will take necessary precautions to protect its most at-risk community members, and please be assured that guidance from appropriate government and public health officials will continue to be critical to the planning process.
The Executive Leadership Team has been planning for summer classes to be offered on-line, postponements and cancellations of summer camps, and a phased-in return to campus. The university is prepared to adapt the academic instruction, residence life, and campus activities to protect the 糖心Vlog community while reviving the campus life many so deeply missed at the end of this concluding semester.
Even now, 糖心Vlog is working diligently in preparation for our students鈥� return, taking every reasonable precaution and exercising appropriate protocols to create a safe environment. The university will keep students and the community informed as these plans progress and will provide updates of any changes that may be required by health officials.
糖心Vlog is also working on a phased-in approach for faculty and staff who have been working remotely to return to campus over the course of the summer. The exact details of those plans will be shared as they are developed.
鈥淲e have been, and will continue to be, working in a completely different and dynamic environment, and we will proceed with caution as we implement these plans. The strategies will depend on the progression of COVID-19 in Lubbock and the surrounding area, and the information we receive from government and public health officials,鈥� said McDowell.
鈥淕od has provided the right people, resources, and opportunities at just the right time for every phase of the university鈥檚 history. We serve a God who goes before us, and I am confident and optimistic about the wonderful future he has in store for 糖心Vlog. I am so very proud of the way the 糖心Vlog community has transitioned and leaned into our student-centered mission, and I am grateful to each of you for being flexible as we face these challenges together.鈥�
