At Alverno College, we believe that the most successful experience for our students, faculty and staff is achieved through community building and collaboration, which happens best during
in-person engagement.
To ensure the health and well-being of our community, the college's COVID-19 Taskforce has taken the following steps:
- All Alverno faculty, staff and students who come to campus in person in any capacity need to be fully vaccinated. This includes all individuals who will have face-to-face
interaction with students, faculty and/or staff (on or off campus).
- Campus safety protocols will be regularly assessed and updated as needed.
- In alignment with updated CDC guidance, Alverno community members are no longer required to wear a mask or face covering while on campus grounds or inside campus buildings, including in
the residence halls. We will remain a mask-friendly campus environment and we encourage you to continue to be respectful of others and their personal masking decisions.
You can find the college's self-reported cases of the virus on our COVID-19 dashboard, which is broken down in two categories: Alverno students and
Alverno faculty and staff. For the purposes of reporting, Alverno faculty and staff are shown in aggregate. Please also review our Spring 2022 Campus COVID-19 Guidelines.
