With the relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions and draft updated guidance recently received from SUNY, MCC will increase operations in the fall to offer courses primarily face-to-face while continuing to build on our already robust online programs and continuing to offer hybrid/remote to meet students’ needs.
A task force of 24 faculty and staff members has been working tirelessly to make recommendations on a plan to safely and compassionately return to in-person learning and work (consistent with one of the five 2021-22 priorities set for MCC). The draft plan will be shared with the union associations and our shared governance groups today for review and comment. We want to ensure our plan is comprehensive to provide you with helpful guidance. Concurrently, it will be sent to the Monroe County Department of Public Health for review and endorsement. The goal is to distribute a finalized plan to the College community next week.
I want to assure you that the final fall plan is still in draft form until we have the benefit of consultation with our unions and shared governance groups. Thereafter, it will be finalized and shared with the entire College. Expediting a final plan benefits all.
Together, we will inspire the way forward!
