Dear Virginia Western community,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Monday, Governor Ralph Northam issued a statewide Stay at\nHome order to protect the health and safety of Virginians and mitigate the\nspread of COVID-19. The executive order is to stay in place until June 10,\n2020, unless amended or rescinded. I wish to reiterate the Governor’s words\nthat we all need to stay home and limit interactions with other people unless\nessential in order to stem the spread of this virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the executive order, the Governor directed all\nVirginia institutions of higher education to cease in-person classes and\ninstruction with the exception of those related to the provision of health care\nor medical services, such as clinical rotations in medical facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The majority of Virginia Western’s classroom instruction\ntransitioned to online or remote learning the week of March 23, following\nSpring Break. Some of our classes with clinical rotations in medical facilities\nwill continue meeting as needed and available due to the critical need for\nhealth care professionals at this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will hold no in-person classes nor instruction on campus\nuntil after June 10 in adherence to the Governor’s executive order. That policy\nmeans we will remain in online or remote course delivery for the remainder of\nthe Spring Semester and at least the beginning of the Summer Semester. That\nincludes courses provided by our School of Career and Corporate Training (CCT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please continue to follow the Virginia Department of Health\nand Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for health and\nsafety. We must all play our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Thank you\nfor your patience and diligence at this challenging time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Robert H. Sandel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President<\/p>\n\n\n\n
