UPDATE
Dear students,
I am writing to provide the latest update on St. Cloud State University’s response to the current Coronavirus/COVID-19 health crisis. Late yesterday we received a new communication from Minnesota State Chancellor Devinder Malhotra to all system institutions. According to this communication, by Friday we will be implementing telework for all employees unless their work responsibilities require them to be onsite.
You should expect an update on the orderly deployment of this new directive shortly.
We are currently working out the details on how we may keep our services operational in ways that allow us to deliver on our priority to enable students to complete the spring semester.
We also have been instructed by the Chancellor to cancel any in-person commencement ceremonies scheduled for this spring. We will, however, be identifying an alternative option that will enable students to celebrate this significant milestone in a way that follows current protocols aimed at preserving the health and safety of all in our campus community. Please bear with us as we work out alternative ways to honor the achievements of our students.
To say we all are in this together is no exaggeration. It is critical to all of us to take care of ourselves and to consider the health and well-being of our families, our neighbors and our communities and follow the advice and guidelines offered by the medical community and local, state and national leaders who have our best interests at heart.
Sincerely,
Robbyn R. Wacker
President
