ST. CLOUD TIMES — It’s back-to-school like never before.
Alongside other schools across the city, state and nation, St. Cloud State University is in the midst of preparing for the start of a new school year. The university will welcome students back to campus this fall.
“Generally, I think students are very excited to come back,” Associate Dean of Students and Executive Director of Residence Life Jen Sell Matzke said.
But the undertaking is massive — and in many ways, new — as the campus prepares to do so during the COVID-19 pandemic that closed schools in the spring and sent students home to learn online.
Student learning
SCSU has mandated mask-wearing in all university buildings, classrooms and labs for faculty and staff, students and visitors.
“That’s an important part of protecting our pack and keeping each other safe,” SCSU Director of Emergency Preparedness Jenn Super said Monday.
Classes begin Aug. 24 in several formats, with some offered fully online, some fully in-person and some as a mix of both. Furthermore, classes with multiple sections could be taught in different ways, Super said.
