With baccalaureate one week away and commencement two days after, we are now in the home stretch of the academic year – which is a formal way of saying "most everyone on campus has lost their minds, students and staff included." We are close to the great unloosing of summer, but the schedule is still packed with meaningful, celebratory events.

Return to Flexible Face Covering Policy |
|
|
|
Dear MPH Community,
Throughout the entirety of the COVID pandemic, we have strived to make policy decisions based on sound evidence, guidance from the CDC, and our own understanding of the MPH community. Now that the CDC has set Onondaga County’s COVID Community Level at “Low” (green), we have decided that Monday, June 6, we will return to our Flexible Face Covering protocol for all adults and students. We will continue to support those who choose to wear masks, as well as for those who choose not to. This will apply to all events on campus during and after the school day.
As before, all students and employees will be expected to bring their own masks to school every day so that we are ready to use them if circumstances call for extra care. I thank you once again for the remarkable commitment to this community has shown throughout the year.
Sincerely,
Dave McCusker
