It has been a busy start of the academic year with every student undergoing COVID-19 testing upon arrival.  We are excited to have students back on campus and our varsity sports engaged in team activities.

Recreational sports will be enhanced with the decision by New York State to permit gyms to reopen.   The Goergen Athletic Center opened on August 27 for use by full-time students for recreational use that conforms to New York State guidelines.  Strict occupancy limits are in place, requiring reservations for use of the Bloch Fitness Center.  Students using the facility for recreational purposes are required to wear cloth masks (no bandanas, buffs, or gaiters) at all times.  The facility is not available for faculty, staff or guest use until further notice.

Varsity teams have undergone extra testing for COVID-19 and taking steps to align activities with physical distancing and face covering requirements.  It is important that students abide by the University COVID-19 Community Commitment in all aspects of campus life.  We are providing support and guidance in this process as we look to have a successful semester.
