The health, safety, and well-being of our Catawba Family is our highest priority.
With this in mind, we have developed extensive plans to ensure a healthy and safe environment for our community returning to campus in Fall 2020, with the following considerations:
- Input of campus stakeholders
- Recommendations from local and state authorities
- Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American College Health Association
- Strategies being deployed at other colleges and universities.
- Collaboration with our major regional healthcare providers, Novant Health and Atrium Health
These plans will be revisited and revised as needed over the coming weeks and months as the status of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve.
The Plan
The key priorities in developing the Return to Catawba Plan are:
|
• |
Protect ourselves – daily self-monitoring; frequent hand washing and sanitizing |
|
• |
Protect others – maintain physical distancing, stay home if sick or symptomatic, wear face covering |
|
• |
Protect the Catawba community – keep academic and work spaces clean, participate in testing and contact tracing, follow traffic pattern, stairwell, and entry/exit signs. |
The Pledge
Let's take the pledge to care about Catawba together:
"Go Remote / Re-Exit Plan"
The College will continuously evaluate the rapidly-evolving situation presented by COVID-19, and has developed a decision plan for transition to remote learning, if necessary. The decision schema will consider factors that are internal to campus, as well as external factors under the guidance of state and local authorities and our local healthcare providers.
