Dear Students:
I’m writing with an update regarding the return to in-person classes. Dr. Brown announced on January 10th that all courses would be remote through the end of January.听 We continue to monitor the spread of COVID -19,听and the new variants and case counts of COVID in Michigan remain high.
听
Yesterday’s numbers show a slight decline in the average of daily cases as well as a decrease in hospitalizations – this is a hopeful sign. Unfortunately, transmission remains high and there has听not been enough of a downward trend to prompt a return to in-person classes. To support the stability of our instructional programs and individual courses, classes will remain online for an additional two-weeks. Our new return to in-person date is February 14, 2022. We hope that by that date the decline of cases will be more significant and that we can gather together again with more consistency.
听
This extension is for classes only; students in practicum, to include the MSP Clinic, must continue to follow the requirements of their site.
听
Thank you for your ongoing patience and flexibility.
听
Stay safe, well and warm!
Diane Zalapi
