Per Governor Hogan’s orders, all members of the McDaniel College community—faculty, staff, students, visitors—will be required to wear facial coverings when inside buildings and residential common areas. We are fortunate to have a beautiful open-air campus and tents have been acquired that will expand our ability to utilize our outdoor spaces. Masks will not be required in outdoor spaces as long as physical distancing is maintained.

Additionally, students will be made aware of updated guidelines for cleaning and sanitizing classrooms, offices, and other campus facilities, as well as the coordination of traffic in and out of campus spaces. The college has already made a commitment to hire additional cleaning staff and cleaning and sanitation frequency will be increased. Updated protocols will be shared with our campus community over the coming weeks.
