Dear Utica College Students, Faculty, Staff, and Families,
I am writing to update you on the College’s plans for safely resuming in-person classes and activities for the Spring semester. Due to the steep rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations across all parts of the country including the Mohawk Valley region, and after consultation with our faculty as well as public health experts, we are making several modifications to the academic calendar. Please carefully note the following important details.
Because of the ongoing threat posed by the pandemic, Utica College will continue to adhere to our established COVID-19 response protocols when we resume in-person classes. Preparations are underway to facilitate the safe return of students, faculty, and staff to campus, with particular focus on testing.
These measures, together with our continued strict adherence to CDC, state, and College COVID-19 guidelines on mask wearing, social distancing, and daily health monitoring, are designed specifically to ensure that the campus community will be in a strong position to continue our successful defense against the pandemic. Moreover, delaying the resumption of in-person classes will enable us to have a clearer picture of how vaccination distribution will proceed in the Mohawk Valley by the time our students, faculty, and staff return to campus.
Without question, this global health crisis has tested all of us in countless ways, both individually and as a community. The vaccines represent hope on the horizon, but we must remain focused and avoid complacency. Our experience last Fall of successfully mitigating COVID-19 and completing the semester uninterrupted gives us a measure of confidence that, together, we can safely navigate the challenges ahead.
I remain grateful for your continued resilience, trust, and extraordinary patience in the face of these very difficult circumstances.
Sincerely,
Laura Casamento
President
